| Thank you Pat and Jimi...well said.
One of the great misunderstandings out there is that certain teachers/schools "place" their students in jobs. This is 100% wrong. Teachers and performers are chosen for positions because of their excellence, not their "pedigree". A strong recommendation might help you to get through the first cut in front of an academic committee. After that you're on your own with who you are (thankfully!)
For the record, I don't believe in "fall-backs". Choose music education as a path because you have a passion for teaching K-12 students. Those who have make unmeasurable contributions to society.
Best,
