Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions we make in
our lifetime. Career choice is more than working to earn a living
but also an important window into how we identify and feel about
ourselves. There are multiple issues involved in every career
choice, particularly in the pursuit of a career in music
performance. Influenced by her hybrid background in music
performance, psychology, and psychoanalysis, Julie Jaffee Nagel
addresses the joys and challenges of career choice in music, with a
specific focus upon the classical performing musician. She
addresses a wide range of pressing topics related to such a career
choice at a time when jobs and income for musicians are diminishing
and COVID-19 has had a monumental, long-term impact on the arts.
This includes feelings of burnout, career change and redirection,
the need for self-care, mental health issues related to the lack of
jobs and income, and the oftentimes crippling standards of
professional performing musicians. In addition, Nagel also points
to potential opportunities and advocates new roles for musicians in
the wake of a transformed music industry and society. Despite the
numerous challenges performing musicians face in their careers,
music can play a powerful role in mental life and society, helping
us cope with the ravages and losses of the pandemic and other
important events, and this can serve as much inspiration and
reinvigorate professional musicians questioning the purpose of
their career. All of these themes are developed through stories,
clinical examples, anecdotes, research data, and personal
reflection.
