The last ten years has seen an unprecedented expansion in the range and quality of community music activities and demand for high quality leaders has increased dramatically. In response to this, The Sage Gateshead, the University of Sunderland and Gateshead College have designed and created the first degree programme of its kind in the UK. The innovative BA (Hons) Community Music programme is aimed at anyone who is musically skilled, from school leavers to professional musicians, who want to put their talents to work with people in a broad range of settings. The range of examples of professional career paths for community music graduates includes youth work, teaching music, performing arts or social work. To find out more or to apply click here.
