Thank you so much Thomas Hardye School Music Department for hosting Routes into Music: Young People's Careers Expo yesterday. It was a really useful event, with 150 young people from schools across Dorset hearing from local professionals about diverse careers across the music industries - everything from composing music for video games and apps to live sound!
"I have learnt about things I never would have considered."
"Very interesting to hear about the different jobs in music and the different roles that music can lead to"
