Imagine a world where music education and industry bodies are intertwined. Collaborating not competing, long term thinking not one off sparkles. A shared purpose, national strategy and action plan, coalecing around a powerful common cause - young people's diverse lives in music. A transfomation is both needed and eminently possible. Our Youth Music Industry Connect report and recommendations sets out why and how. Join us in a landmark, cross-industry coalition and make it so ⬇️⬇️

A brilliant report looking at barriers that exist for young creatives in the music industry came out today, I have worked with hundreds of emerging artists and this report rings true. The main findings are as follows: * Better integration of industry and education through a national music strategy * Re-imagining and modernising curriculums and careers advice * Addressing gaps in current programmes that fail to teach young people the skills needed for sustainable careers in modern music industries * Preparing students for self-employment, as 70% of the music industry workforce operates in this way, which many college and university courses overlook * Expanding focus beyond artist and performer roles to address skills shortages in areas like digital and offstage roles * Enhancing non-formal pathways programmes and increasing access to finance for emerging talent * Establishing safer working cultures across the music industry Youth Music is announcing a new partnership with Musician’s Union and Music Guardians to embed greater inclusion and safeguarding within ‘pathways’ programmes. This is in addition to their existing safeguarding partnership with TiPP. In conclusion provisions that are currently being offered are falling short and are not equipping young people with the skills needed to excel in the modern music industry. This is limiting access to a music career, and disproportionately impacting young people from marginalised groups, a sentiment that is depicted throughout the Industry Connect report. Youth Music is launching a national initiative in 2025, which will support 18-30 year olds from underrepresented communities and bolster the infrastructure for workforce development and music industry growth. Matt Griffiths, Youth Music CEO, says: “Whilst the UK music industry contributes an estimated £7 billion to the economy, there is a huge amount of work to be done to ensure we close the gap from learning to earning. I am passionate about equipping the next generation and empowering them to earn money to keep them in the industry. Good Digital skills are essential to help students connect their Music & products to Audiences and that is what I love to help them do. #musicindustry #emergingartists #youthmusic
