Besides being a piano teacher or a performer. Could I be able to teach a class at a school on something like the Romantic Period? Or does that require a special degree? Oh and how would I be able to achieve theses jobs?

Try the prime ballet schools.
You could definitely teach a class. Have you thought about marketing yourself…try playing at weddings, etc. to get your name out there!
You could teach music in a private studio, you could give private lessons in your home or other location, if you have a Bachelor’s Degree in music education you could even be a public school music teacher, also you may be able to get a job playing at a church, you may be able to get a job being an accompanist for concerts in public as well as private schools, and I am sure there are probably many other options.

Teaching is the obvious one but really any opportunity is going to made by you. You have to learn business if you are going to be in the music business in any facet. Anytime there is a recurring group of people that is an opportunity for performing, instructing or selling a cd. In short you need to learn how to monetize your talent and not look for jobs because everyone else is looking for a music job too. You need to be the creator of the jobs and an opportunist. In short, opportunities are everywhere if you can see them.
Maybe you could team up with a symphony orchestra and be their accompanist. In order to teach in the primary or secondary schools, you would have to have a teaching degree or certificate. For college-age students, I don’t think a degree is required, but you have to be well qualified. The best way to achieve a job in music is to submit applications/resumes in the field. Another option for employment would be a demonstrator in a store that sells pianos. You could play pieces to demonstrate to prospective customers the tone and timbre of the pianos. However, I’m certain you would much rather utilize your talents as a performer or an instructor. Good luck.
Janitor?
try applying at the colleges and schools for teaching jobs and hit up the orchestras near you. every state has them! if you can play jazz and rock you’ll improve your chances for finding work. peace!
Anywhere really, it’s such a saturated job market with so many companies desperately searching for more classical pianists, you could find a job literally anywhere!
Such places as:
McDonalds
WalMart
Jose’s Landscaping Service
Symphony orchestra, or teaching.
You could teach music in a school if you obtained a teaching certificate – I would call your state’s regulatory board to see what is required for that.
Professional tickler.
I also am a pianist and my dream job was always to compose and score movies. However, it seems like a career that you would have to “know people”. What about a music teacher in elementary or middle school. Good luck.
I *think* that you’d need to have at least some college coursework in education to teach in a school, but there are different guidelines for different school districts. Just check with the ones near you and see what their teaching requirements are
Good luck!
