Hello, I'm a piano student from Spain and I was wondering if working as a korrepetitor in Germany is worth trying.

My main concern is about the position in Musikhochschulen not municipal music schools. Here in Spain is relatively viable to acces a full time job as korrepetitor in this kind of conservatories, but, as expected, the salaries are far from great and with all the prices rising each year there is not much future here.

So, is it viable to aim towards a full time job as korrepetitor in this types of conservatories or maybe with dance, theater or ópera?

Around Europe, this kind of positions are hardly full time and the conditions are usually precarious but I dont really know about Germany.

I'd appreciate any kind of help.

Hello, I'm a piano student from Spain and wanted to ask about the work as korrepetitor in swiss conservatories. Here in Spain we are used to have public examinations about it, with a limited amount of vacancies, without job interviews. If you pass, you can acces a full time job.

I am aware of the job interviews in switzerland regarding this positions but I've read that in swiss conservatories that is not the case regarding the working hours, and that the job is usually not full time.

My question is if in switzerland, the korrepetitor job is full time or not, or It depends on the the type of conservatory, is it that hard to find a full time position? Also, should I aim towards working with opera, dance or theater in comparison to conservatories? It seems very difficult to make a living out of music in switzerland without working at multiple places at the same time.

I'd appreciate any kind of help.
