Title: The future is looking bright - Studies of burnout among musicians and music teachers. Since late 1970's, the burn-out-syndrome has been researched in several ways, especially among people working in care-oriented employments. The object with this study is to find out the biggest issues about why musicians and music teachers burn themselves out. This is based on musicians and music teachers own stories when they got burned out. The method I have used is qualitative interviews and in the result chapter I will present summaries of the interviews. In the discussion chapter, following themes will be dicussed: similar personalities, who is responsible for the teachers being burned out, to prevent stress, lifelong learning. The most important reasons why music teachers burn themselves out is a combination of a big amount of work and personality. Anyone could be burned out but not everyone is in the risk zone. A person who is driven a commitment to see things happen in his own and others lives, that is a person who is in the risk zone.
