Eligibility
Upon arrival in Austin, graduate students are eligible to participate in the gig referral service. Undergraduate students become eligible at the beginning of their second year of study at the Butler School.
NOTE: You must be a US citizen or permanent resident. Due to work restrictions on F-1 visa-holders, we unfortunately cannot allow international students to use the service. All sign-ups must be approved by your primary instructor.
How to sign up
To register, fill out the online form available at https://music.utexas.edu/join-hire-musician. Upon submission, a message will be automatically sent to your primary instructor. If your instructor approves, BSOM outreach staff will email you with additional instructions on how to log-in and create your public listing(s). Sign-ups do NOT need to be renewed each year.
Listings should be clear and concise. If you plan to offer more than one type of service (e.g., solo performance, group performance, or private instruction/tutoring), create a listing for each so that prospective clients can use the search tools effectively. Headshots are helpful, especially if they are professional and high-quality.
Note: Do not include personal contact information in the text of your listing. Prospective clients will contact you through the web form, which helps both you and the Butler School to maintain the security of your information and to easily track requests for your services.
Participation
Remember that you represent the Butler School and UT, as well as yourself! Be professional, courteous and timely in all of your interactions with prospective clients. You are empowered to negotiate your own rates and terms of service. The Butler School does not require you to adhere to common standards, although we strongly encourage you to make use of written contracts for your own legal and financial protection.
