Welcome


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.
