Katie Kukla, Events and Schools Outreach Manager from ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) visited Year 10 GCSE Music students today, to share information about the range of careers in the music industry, and the array of music courses available to study at the ACM.
The Academy of Contemporary Music has been training artists, producers and business entrepreneurs for careers in the music industry since 1995. With state-of-the-art facilities and extensive connections within the music industry, ACM offers music courses that develop students to their highest potential. Students can enjoy first class industry contacts whilst studying for a practical degree. Northampton Academy strives to ensure that all students are aware of the variety of available pathways linked to their curriculum subjects. Sessions such as these also ensure students can begin to plan and prepare towards higher education. Our thanks go to Katie for her continued support of our students, in ensuring they are kept up to date with the latest advice for those wishing to develop a career in the music industry.
When asked 'What was the most interesting part?'
Naomi B said, "The opportunities available because there are so many things available in reference to the music business and new opportunities that you may not be able to do anywhere else."
Jessica N added, ‘It made me realise how many options there are and the amount of things you can get involved in that are related to music. I didn’t think there were that many options before.’
Of the 10 students in the class 8 said that they would now consider or explore a career in music.
