Frequently Asked Questions
Expand AllThe College of Music enjoys connecting qualified, professional musicians with local patrons for special events and educational opportunities. The Publicity Office in the College of Music maintains a database of current students and local alums who have been approved by their primary professors to represent the College in outside activities like teaching, accompanying, and performing. This list is a tremendous resource for the Tallahassee community and a significant source of income for our students.
The Publicity Office referral list functions as a means for potential clients in the Tallahassee area to connect with musicians from the College of Music.
Please note: The referral list is a referral service, not a contracting service. The Publicity Office will not recommend specific students, and does not set rates or determine availability. It is the client’s responsibility to communicate with the students directly to determine which student teacher, musician, or ensemble is the best fit for the client’s music service needs.
All musicians on our list are current students at the FSU College of Music or recent graduates who have remained in the area. All students on this list have been pre-approved for outside activities by their primary professors, who are full-time faculty members of the College of Music. The FSU College of Music is one of the top music schools in the nation – all of our student musicians are of professional caliber.
Students and ensembles set their own fees, which are negotiated between client and musician. Fees may vary depending on the length of lesson or performance, travel, and services required, as well as the number of musicians involved. Please note: our musicians charge standard professional rates. A good ballpark figure is @ $125 per hour, per musician for private performances, or $25 per 30 minute lesson.
