Jordan will speak to a convocation of the Department of Music at Texas A&M University-Commerce.

In the 21st century, the traditional notion of working at one job for 45 years has become less and less common. The music industry is no different. From school, to church, to community chorus, to military bands, more and more music teachers work across a range of musical activities to fill out their portfolios. Drawing on experiences across the industry, Jordan will share insights on a range of topics, including:

  • Founding a nonprofit arts organization

  • Pursuing advanced study in music

  • Applying music education training to a variety of musical contexts

  • Creating new opportunities

  • The contemporary landscape in music

  • Innovation in the arts

  • Arts Entrepreneurship

  • Nontraditional paths in the music career
