]]> No one can deny it, today, a pianist’s career requires other skills than just playing the piano. After our studies, we often realize that we haven’t been awakened to the reality of our profession.

Indeed, once the conservatory is over, we are confronted to stewardship problems. Most of the time, not enough supported, we must manage everything by ourselves: solicit concerts organizers, manage press relations, deal contracts…

However, at school, we never heard about this at all. I know our studies are already very heavy but a little training to music management wouldn’t have been too much and would have enabled many of us to save some precious time.

I’m thus asking the question: Why did no one have the brilliant idea to integrate management modules or an overview of the different jobs we’ll deal with through our career and which will help us in our course. I think it has become essential in our education.

When will there be extra courses in conservatories?
