Class description

A creative career is rarely linear. It unfolds through intuition, experimentation, and courageous change. This class reframes career development as a creative practice in
itself—an evolving design process shaped by curiosity and intrinsic motivation.

Drawing on research on flow, vulnerability, and creative innovation, you will explore how to design a career that feels meaningful, alive, and adaptive. We examine the conditions that support sustainable creativity and develop practical tools for imagining and shaping the next chapter of your musical life.

This class encourages a shift from career as a path to career as an ongoing act of artistic creation.
