The Pathways Into Music Foundation has announced the key themes for this year’s Music Industry + Music Education Conference, which will take place in Manchester in November bringing together people working in music education with employers, entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the music industry.
The full-day conference will showcase Pathways Into Music’s work mapping and verifying music career resources; put the spotlight on accreditation in music education and the music industry; and provide a guide to have music companies can better support future talent through placements, internships, apprenticeships and mentoring.
Pathways Into Music is a not-for-profit organisation founded by CMU to connect music industry and music education. It also runs CPD programmes for music educators; delivers workshops and mentoring for early career music creators; and has undertaken extensive research mapping the music industry, music education, music careers and music resources.
The MIME Conference presents a mixture of presentations, interviews and panel discussions, bringing together leading people from across music education and the music business to consider how educators can better support the industry’s talent pipeline, how industry can better support education, and how everyone can best support future music talent, on and off stage.
The conference takes place on 22 Nov, alongside the Un-Convention conference which runs this year on 20 and 21 Nov, with everything happening at Manchester’s Band On The Wall.
Saver tickets are currently available from the Pathways Into Music website for £50 – though CMU readers can get a 50% discount by using the code mime50.
