Music

Music is a varied and exciting sector with an eclectic mixture of jobs from performance and promotion to technical and engineering roles. It can also cover teaching, healthcare and community work. Whichever area you wish to work in, it will be competitive with many people passionate about the area and what they want to do and achieve within it.

Although competitive, over 110,000 people are employed directly within the music industry full-time and this has grown in recent years. As with most creative industries, breaking in and earning a living will require more creativity than other job applications. Networking, freelancing, utilising social media, creating output and gaining practical experience will be critical for the majority of roles.
