Pathways Into Music: Educator Pathway Day

Join us for a free professional development programme that provides music educators with the information, knowledge and contacts they need to advise and support students who seek to pursue a career in music.

A one-day seminar for anyone involved in educating or supporting young people making music including: music teachers, instrument tutors, and FE and HE lecturers, plus people working for music hubs and music services, and talent development, community music and youth organisations.

Info: Pathways Into Music has been mapping musicmakers
and music-maker careers. In this session,
we’ll look at all the different professional musicmakers
involved in composing, recording, producing
and performing music, and will explain why most of
those people are also entrepreneurs running their
own creator businesses. We’ll then consider the
career pathways taken by both ‘frontline artists’ and
‘portfolio musicians’, and what young people need to
know to embark on those journeys.

Info: The ‘music industry’ is simply all the people and
companies who help professional music-makers to
find an audience, build a business and make money
from their music. There are many strands to the
music industry. We’ll explore who the key people
and companies are, and what role they play, via our
music industry quiz.

Info: Pathways Into Music has been mapping the music
industry and music industry careers. In this session
we’ll explain how the music industry is structured
around artist revenue streams, with different people
and companies focused on different revenues, including rights, live performance and the fan relationship. We’ll then look at the different career
pathways in the industry and what young people
need to know to embark on those journeys.

Info: A key way that music-makers generate income is by
creating and monetising copyrights. Which means
anyone pursuing a career in music needs a basic
understanding of how copyright works. Tapping into
the Pathways Into Music Knowledge Bank, in this
session we’ll run through the five key facts everyone
needs to know about copyright.

Info: When big name artists play live, there are hundreds
of people involved in delivering the show, and the
releases and marketing surrounding the tour, the vast
majority of whom are hidden from view. We consider
what all those people are doing – identifying the
team members and business partners artists need,
and the many behind-the-scenes roles in music that
young people may want to pursue.

Info: With a plethora of digital tools now available,
it’s relatively easy to record and release music,
and many young music-makers embark on this
journey early on before connecting with the music
industry. Tapping into the Pathways Into Music
Knowledge Bank, we explain what releasing tracks
involves, and how DIY artists can get the most out
of the experience, creatively, commercially and in
career terms.
