Music Careers

Professionals who came (will be coming):

The activities for our music career unit are to have different speakers come in and tell us about the different music professions.  The students take notes on each person and write down 10 things about each person.  Their conclusion will be to write a reflective paper about the different people telling me what they liked about each job, which sounded the most interesting to them, what they learned about a particular job that they found interesting and/or might want to purse.
