This research sought to understand the relationship between the academic higher education of students who obtained the Bachelor of Music degree at the Universidade Federal da Paraiba (UFPB) and their insertion and professional performance in the labor market in the city of Joao Pessoa, through their own perception. Thus, we have develop a qualitative research based on interviews, with ten out of the 21 students who fitted the selection criteria – i.e. instrumentalists who obtained the title of Bachelor of Music between the years of 2010 and 2011, and worked professionally in the city of Joao Pessoa. As an instrument for data collection, semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to recognize the alumni‟s own experience through out the undergraduate course, as well as in the labor market, to identify recurrent social representations in their discourses, and to understand how the University proposed curriculum of the course contributed to labor opportunities in the professional job market. The critical analysis of the reports was done from the perspective of the Social Representations Theory and studies from the Music Education area that showed some relation with the chosen theme and the data collected. In this sense, we discussed how the relation between the students and the music was established and how the social representation of the artist‟s roll can be recognized through the family‟s support (or their lack of support) to the option of being a professional musician. From the data obtained and the bibliographic and documental analysis, we could find the influence of the Conservatory Teaching Model in the course‟s curriculum, although it had been adapted. Besides, we make some considerations about the student‟s perceptions and expectations on their education, reflecting about possible innovations and adaptations for the curriculum. The dichotomy between being a musician against being a professor is also emphasized, as teaching appeared on the reports as a professional option for the bachelors as, in fact, these two possibilities appear as complementary activities. Thus, we conclude that the course curriculum as propose by the University is not properly articulated to the job market reality, notably in relation to the labor market in city of Joao Pessoa.
