Dear Music Major: Performance is Not Your Only Option

Dear Music Major: Performance is Not Your Only Option – TeenLife Although many musicians perform, most don’t rely only on performance to meet their financial and career needs. Making it in classical ensemble or musical theater, as a singer/songwriter, or with a band can be a slow and uneven journey – even when it works!

Prominent examples of corporate and industry leaders with a theater background include:
Indra Nooyi: Former CEO of PepsiCo, who credits her background in the performing arts with helping her refine her storytelling and executive communication skills.
Michael Eisner: Former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, who earned a dual degree in English Literature and Theater from Denison University, which helped him understand interpersonal relationships and "what makes people tick".
Steve Ells: Founder of Chipotle Mexican Grill, who earned an undergraduate degree in Art History but heavily credited his creative, out-of-the-box business approach to his deep involvement in theater.
