CONNECTING MUSIC INDUSTRY + MUSIC EDUCATION
The Pathways Into Music Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation launched by CMU to support music educators and music talent development programmes around the UK and beyond, and to help early-career music-makers plan their personal pathways into music.
It also seeks to connect all the different strands of music education – classical, commercial, formal, informal, performance, composition, production and business – with all the different strands of the music industry, helping them speak the same language and share knowledge and experience.
Pathways Into Music is led by CMU founder Chris Cooke and artist manager and music business educator Phil Nelson – meet them both here.

SUPPORTING MUSIC-MAKERS
We have developed an education and mentoring programme for early-career music-makers, helping them understand how to build a business and a fanbase around their music. We deliver this programme in partnership with music industry organisations including Help Musicians and MOBO Unsung.
SUPPORTING MUSIC EDUCATORS
We are currently developing a professional development programme for music educators that will provide teachers, tutors and lecturers, and people running education hubs and talent initiatives, with access to the latest insights about music careers and the music business.
MAPPING + RESEARCH
The Pathways Into Music research programme is mapping music education, music careers, the music industry and music-maker community with a view to identifying the knowledge and information early-career music-makers need access to, and the people and organisations able to provide it.
CONFERENCES + EVENTS
Pathways Into Music presents regular sessions about its work at conferences and events around the world. Since 2018 we have staged an annual Music Education Conference bringing together people working in music education and the music industry to learn, network and debate.
The Pathways Into Music Foundation is a community interest company
