Progression and career opportunities
It is an exciting time to be a practising musician. The traditional system of studios supporting a small number of superstars is fading, being replaced by a more DIY approach to music careers. Students will learn about how current musicians are making a living, from doing media-related work, to promoting themselves on social media, to marketing goods and services outside of the usual album/single format. Students can also choose to deepen their knowledge by going to university to study a course in music performance or technology.
