É«ÂþÌìÌÃ

The É«ÂþÌìÌà is a world leader in career development for musicians. Through the Creative Careers Centre, we support students to become confident and versatile communicators, in professional engagements and beyond. 

Renowned for its forward-thinking and holistic approach to developing the careers of young musicians, the Creative Careers Centre offers a broad range of services to support musicians in bridging the gap between student and professional life. For many students, it plays a vital role in building a successful, lifelong career in music.

• The Creative Careers team can advise on the services above and help you access the most relevant support at each stage of your studies or early career. 

We partner with leading consultants, arts organisations and local communities, delivering unique career-building opportunities and a direct route to the music industry. We enable musicians to discover their professional identity, gain hands-on experience and new skills, develop an entrepreneurial mind-set and build a fulfilling professional portfolio. 

É«ÂþÌìÌà Accelerate

É«ÂþÌìÌà Accelerate supports graduating É«ÂþÌìÌà students to kickstart a new creative project, social enterprise or business idea, or to take an existing initiative to the next level. Successful applicants receive grant funding and mentoring support. The scheme promotes proactivity, creativity and an entrepreneurial mindset. 

Graduates from the scheme have included:

• Cristiana Achim: founded a new business, Piano Travel, supporting the career development of pianists.
• Liam Dougherty: developed a new work for a festival in which an old piano was transformed into an electronic sound installation.
• Helen Kuby: established a health and wellbeing education programme for young musicians who wouldn’t ordinarily have access to such valuable support.
• Hannah Seymour: Co-founded EMPOWER: Women Changing Music, an initiative dedicated to promoting fairness and gender equality in the music industry.
• Rieko Makita: In collaboration with two Royal College of Art graduates, developed a multidisciplinary show with live piano, electronics, and digital visuals, exploring storytelling through sound and image.
