We were delighted to welcome WaterBear Music College, affiliated with Falmouth University, to Gresham’s for an insightful enrichment talk on the evolution of the music industry—from the 1990s to today. Pupils discovered how the industry’s economic growth has sparked diverse career opportunities beyond performance, spanning law, finance, distribution, journalism, AI, logistics, and more.

This energised and engaging talk highlighted how academic subjects link to a vast range of skills and roles within the industry, proving that music isn’t just about being on stage, it’s about the people behind the scenes shaping its future.

The talk generated fantastic enthusiasm, and resonated with our Sixth Form pupils. We look forward to welcoming WaterBear back for a return visit and workshop.
