Summary
Sammanfattning Inom konstmusiken är Maestro en betydelsefull figur. Maestron är en framstående musiker och lärare på en av de prestigefyllda musikerutbildningarna på musikhögskolan. Att antas som elev till en Maestro är att få tillgång till det professionella musiklivets förmak. Dock är detta ingen garanti för att faktiskt lyckas som musiker. Vilken social praktik är Maestro en del av och vilken social praktik bidrar han/hon till att upprätthålla? Vem tar positionen som framstående musiker och vad krävs för att inneha en sådan position? Det empiriska materialet består av tre djupintervjuer med tre centrala musiker och lärare på musikerutbildningar. Intervjuerna används för att rekonstruera deras positioner och dispositioner. Musikernas relativa framgång förstås i relation till begreppet habitus och i relation till en föränderlig yrkespraktik
