Research on the Development of Employment Market and Countermeasures of Personalized Career Guidance for Music Majors

As an integral component of arts education, the employment outcomes of music majors not only impact individual career trajectories but also influence the preservation and innovation of musical arts. This study examines the current employment landscape for music students in regional universities through a Marxist theoretical lens. It emphasizes guiding students to incorporate contemporary characteristics and social values into their musical creation, performance, and pedagogical practices, while fostering appropriate professional perspectives. The research advocates for the integration of personal career development with societal needs, thereby achieving the unity of individual and social value realization. Through comprehensive investigation, the study analyzes the root causes of employment challenges and proposes targeted, forward-looking career guidance strategies based on the principle of theory-practice integration. The ultimate objectives are to establish a scientific and rational career service mechanism, contribute novel theoretical perspectives and practical approaches to music graduate employment research, facilitate the realization of professional value in competitive job markets, and promote coordinated development between music education and the music industry.
