Music is a creative art form that communicates emotion, provides entertainment and brings people together.
The UK has produced some of the best songwriters and composers over the years, with talent coming from London and Liverpool to Belfast and Brighton. But are there ways to build a full-time career in this industry, and are there roles in the music business beyond those who are doing the performing arts themselves?
While school-based music teachers earn a regular salary, many other music-related careers involve working long, irregular hours on a freelance basis. If you’re a musical performer, your role may also involve travelling in the UK and or abroad.
Due to the competitive nature of the music industry, it’s common for music professionals to rely on several streams of income. For example, if you play the guitar in a band, you might also work as a private guitar tutor and a session musician.
Now that you’ve read all about it, why not explore our range of fantastic music courses to take you closer to your goal of launching a music career?
There are plenty of options to choose from, including careers related to performance and careers that focus on music technology. Here are some examples:
Whether you want just to understand the fundamentals of music marketing and social media or start your own electronic music production label, short courses can give you the masterclass you need to discover your own musical career path.
Study a general music degree (BMus), and you’ll gain advanced practical skills and in-depth theoretical knowledge. More specific degrees are also available in subjects such as composition, live events production, music journalism, music technology, and sound engineering.
Of course, there are many music-related careers you can access without a degree, in which case you could opt for a course at a local college. Level two and three diplomas are available in a range of subjects, including music production, musical theatre, music performance, music technology and live sound.
Higher education and postgraduate courses can hold the keys to some music careers, but there are short courses that can give you access to the modules you need, delivered by seasoned lecturers and respected providers, which can kick-start your career as well.
