 * Salary Range / Pay Rate: 25,000-35,000/yr

Seriously? This salary must be a mistake...
 * 12/17 What do you expect at an Instructor rank? It's double the most generous graduate teaching assistant salary, living in small college town Kansas where it will go a lot further than most urban areas.
 * Plentiful desperate, overqualified pianists + not enough demand for their services = terrible salaries.  Simple economics.
 * It's sad that they prefer a Doctorate degree for that kind of wage. That's below public school teacher salary averages...auto-mechanics make more than this, and working on cars would probably be far less stressful...
 * This salary is a disgrace, instructor level or not. They would even pay anyone in University administration more than this, such as the school's secretary. When you think of the qualifications and experience needed for a job like this, it's just unsustainable and Universities like this are making it worse...Something has to change in the academic "industry".....sigh
 * I assume there is an internal candidate. It seems that the wife of the organ professor at KSU has M.M. in piano pedagogy from KSU and has been teaching a few classes there.

 * I applied for this job, but the email thanked me for applying for a completely different job.
 * Ah, now I get another rejection for the correct position I will not be getting.
 * They must really, really not want you.
 * I'm getting the hint (backs away slowly). All good. Interviews elsewhere.
 * Had a pretty fun interview, aside from two things: there's a heavily-favored internal candidate and the administration went into great detail on how they deny people tenure and can issue non-renewals whenever they please (always nice to talk about divorce on the first date). Other than that, there were ~120 applicants and 4 finalists, so you basically have a 3% chance of getting a campus interview even before they start going through the CVs and cutting down the pool based on work experience, education, performance history, etc. Atlanta seems like a nice place to live, but this one appears to have been wrapped up a long time ago. Word.

 * 10/28 Seems like there is a vacancy in piano every few years here. Anyone know why that is?
 * 10/29 Looking at the past 4 years of the wiki, I don't see any other piano postings from this school. There were postings at Seattle Pacific University and Azusa Pacific University though - similar names. But maybe you're thinking even further back?
 * 11/14 They had a search to replace a retiring professor. The person chosen turned down the position finally, so another search was held the next year. This particular search is to add a tenure-track piano position to the faculty.
 * 11/18: Rejection email received.
 * 11/18  Request for additional materials along with hardball statement that rank and salary are non-negotiable and candidates should drop out now if they don't like it.
 * 11/19: Not only that, but the fact that they ask for an HOUR of teaching demonstration videos (30 minutes applied and 30 minutes class piano, plus a statement on class piano teaching philosophies and syllabi) and only 15 minutes of solo/collab recordings more or less tells you about the priorities of this position and your place in the department.
 * 11/20. So,are you planning to carry on in the search? :o
 * I respect them for providing clarity on the nature of the position and the type of candidate they want.  Small colleges are plagued with piano faculty who only want to use their positions as platforms to further their own concert careers, and who will jump ship at the earliest sign of a better position.
 * Nice conjecture. I sent them an email after their first contact with some supplemental questions about their (absurd) request for additional materials and received a hostile reply from the search chair, who outright refused to address any of my concerns and encouraged me to withdraw my application. I politely told them to FO. There's nothing to respect about this horrible school, it sounds like an absolutely awful place to work, even for a religious college (and I know you can empathize with that).
 * 12/9 The materials they asked for are rather daunting to put together unless one is already committed and experienced in the area of class piano, functional keyboard, etc. Pretty sure that was the idea.
 * 1/11 rejection email.
 * Any updates?

 * Just because you didn't get this position, doesn't mean this search is fake. This space is for sharing information not disrespecting others.
 * I didn't apply for this job, and it was obviously fake. HTH.
 * no one was disrespected. There are almost a always clues embedded in the job description of searches that are fake ("open until filled", e.g.). It's just a part of the game that a public university has to hold searches, even if they know whom they will eventually hire. The fact is, that even if the spouse was the best candidate, he/she will always be known as the spouse that got hired. That's just the way of the world. Agree with the others.

 * How can they request recordings on the day they began the reviewing?
 * Sigh...
 * NO DECENCY
 * Most schools know who they would like to hire ahead of time but hide this fact a bit better than this one.
 * In the few searches I've been involved in, the online application system can close on the day that the reviewing begins, then there is a push to get that list down to a smaller number ASAP. But the committee can review the applications individually before that point, then they have more time to look at each application. The first "review" day can be the first committee meeting to officially vote on any interesting candidates, and they would contact them for further materials. I could be completely wrong in this one situation, but who knows?!
 * 12/19 References contacted
 * Most likely they just narrowed the list on the review date and asked the shortlist for recordings. Most hiring teams can view the applications as they come in. Not uncommon.

University of Southern Mississippi: Assistant Professor of Music in Collaborative Piano (Deadline: Open until filled, posted 16 March 2017

 * Posting Number: 0004399
 * Job Title: Assistant Professor of Music in Collaborative Piano
 * Grant Funded? No
 * Position Type: Faculty
 * Campus: Hattiesburg
 * Department: Music
 * Job Summary: The University of Southern Mississippi invites applicants for the full-time, nine-month, tenure- track faculty position of Assistant Professor of Music in Collaborative Piano in the School of Music, College of Arts and Letters.
 * Duties and Responsibilities: Our new colleague would coordinate proposed DMA in collaborative piano as well as all collaborative piano activities; perform with faculty, guest artists and student vocalists and instrumentalists; manage and perform in our collaborative piano program, recruit and teach applied collaborative students; adhere to University, College and School policies, procedures and regulations; be committed to training and mentoring young artists and to developing excellence in teaching, creative activity, and service; be capable of collaborating with faculty in school curricular activities.
 * Minimum Qualifications: Doctorate of Music in collaborative piano, piano performance or a related field; a history of successful applied teaching and work as a collaborative artist at the college level; evidence or promise of successful teaching and recruiting experience; evidence of organizational and administrative experience.

 * Posting Date: 03-16-2017
 * Closing Date: Open Until Filled
 * Special Instructions to Applicants: Please submit a repertoire list of solo and collaborative works.
 * 3/18 Just a thought on the job posted above (Univ of Southern Mississippi).  Why in the name of all that is decent would anyone start a new DMA program in current market conditions?  Especially a school of USM's low ranking and reputation?  Is there a crying need for collaborative pianists in southern Mississippi?
 * 5/3 I don't know... hard to "be committed to training and mentoring young artists" when you are fully aware of how terrible the job market is even for graduates from top tier schools.
 * The specific problem of this school is that their piano faculty have to do the above duties, i.e. accompamy innumerable students and guests. It's assumed that this person will take on the less desirable duties that others would sooner eschew. So, it seems that it's not so much creating a new, sustainable program as it is relieving an institutional burden...

General Discussion

 * 12-3 I have a question for current and very recent DMA students.  Are your professors talking about the realities of the job market?
 * The reason I ask is that there are just over 40 jobs posted here, and somewhere between 65 and 75 DMA programs in the USA.  Considering that many of the sweetest jobs will be taken by pianists who are already established in their careers, this means that less than half the DMA programs can hope to place even one grad per year in a faculty position.  Add to that the fact that historically many of the positions are awarded to grads from just a handful of the top DMA programs.  According to the last several years on this wiki, it would appear that certain DMA programs have seldom or never placed a grad in a full-time faculty position.
 * I am genuinely curious what your schools are telling you about this.
 * 12-4 If a student commits to pursuing a terminal degree in music, shouldn't they be capable of figuring this out for themselves? I knew at least  vaguely of these realities in my B.Mus degree, had a very pessimistic chair of the music department during my M.M., and I very well knew what I was getting in to for my DMA. And I did not go to a "top" DMA program, in fact, enrolled in one that could very well hold me back in the eyes of many employers. I knew what I was doing and I've been very happy with my various post-graduation (May, 2015) employment opportunities. I haven't ended up doing exactly what I planned to, but no one is owed their dream job just because they REALLY WANT IT. Besides, people don't get just DMAs to teach at a university. And, for the record, my DMA program did have extensive discussions about the academic job market and we were required as part of our program to maintain CV, develop letter of application models, teaching philosophy, performed mock interview and teaching demonstrations, and regularly emphasized developing a career outside of our institution, with an academic and performance presence.
 * 12/8 Different thread. I get the RSS feed fine on iPad/Laptop, but it just spins without producing anything on my iPhone. Have tried using Google and Safari with the same results. Anyone have an idea about a setting I might be missing?
 * 12/9 What RSS reader are you using? On my iPhone I have used the Feedly app and the Newsify app and both work fine.
 * Thank you! The rss feed populates just fine on this page in any browser - except for on my phone. Feedly seems to bridge the gap. Thank you for all you do to maintain this page. It's greatly appreciated.
 * 12/9 You're welcome!
 * 12/25 Merry Christmas and Good Luck to EVERYONE.
 * 12-29 Having graduated with a doctorate from a highly rated music school in 2014, I can say that their was almost no discussion about the longterm prospects of finding work. They've recently implemented some programs to assist with this, but it was after my time there. Most music teachers were of the old school and many did not have doctorate degrees, as the job market was significantly different when they were hunting for jobs. I knew it would be difficult, but figured a doctorate from a top-tiered school would make it a lot easier. Nope. I think some schools are coming to terms with this, but then the dream job of becomming a professor seems less exciting when you feel you are recruiting students into career paths where they will most likely not land the type of job they want and may have loads of debt from it. I know lots live by the "follow your dream" crap but reality sets in when you realize your salary levels are awfully low for the amount of work you put into it, and when you have a family to look after it is truly difficult to compete with people who can practice 8 hrs a day and win loads of competitions. It's a really tough market and if you can make it work, hats off to you. But the majority of Doctorate degree holders will either be living the frugal life of teaching as an adjunct with a private studio from home or will be switching career paths.


 * 2/1 Hello, newbie here.  May I ask how many pages a typical applicants' cover letter is, and how many pages are appropriate for a CV?  Thanks for any input!
 * I would advise that 2 pages should be the maximum for a cover letter, and everything should relate to the job posting and the specific school. For the CV, I think it is open ended (e.g. upwards of 5 pages), it depends on how much you want to include in activities like performing or other areas, beyond your education and teaching experience.
 * 2/2: You'll never find agreement on the cover letter. I've had luck when my cover letter is less than a page, addresses, text and signature combined. I've had luck when my cover letter is 3 full pages. I just started going with a "gut" feeling on how I feel I need to properly 'sell' myself, based on the job description. The committee is only ever going to read as much as they want, so I would say go on the longer side. My CV is 9-10 pages now and counting. I put everything on it but I'm very mindful of specific categories, e.g.-I list my graduate/undergraduate degrees first, always as "education" at the end of my CV I list "Other Education" which has masterclasses I've played, festivals I attended, that I take Alexander Technique, etc. It would be annoying if I mixed the former catgetory (formal education) with the latter (secondary education) all as one thick "Education" category, just to look more padded. I also reorder the categories to tailor to a specific job: one that emphasizes collaborative teaching, I put my collaborative experiences towards the top; one that teaches piano repertoire, I put my scholarly work towards the top.
 * 2013 Grad here. I had zero discussion in grad school of the realities of the job market and very little discussion of how best to market one's skills. The faculty seem genuinely surprised when they hear their students are having trouble finding steady work. I'm living the adjunct dream myself....putting in as many hours as full-time faculty at my schools for half the pay.
 * Hello, newbie here again. Thanks for responding to my previous post! May I ask what kind of interview questions you've heard, especially ones that got you stumped? Thanks in advance. :)
 * Cover letter/CV discussion: anything over 1.5 pages is superfluous. Hit the main points (performance background, recruitment, and why you want/are qualified for this position) and cut the hyperbole. For CVs, quality beats quantity every time. 9-10 pages of fluff will never get you past the screening round.
