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"
Thank you to all our our fantastic expert professional speakers and to Octagon Music Hub and Dorset Music Service for your support!Thank you to Octagon Music Hub, Dorset Music Service and B Sharp for organising a music careers expo which we were pleased to host today. 90 of our students took part, with a range of professionals talking about the jobs that they do. Our students also got to hear from some ex-students and find out what it’s like studying music or music technology at Higher education conservatoires and universities.
