Sound Check is a training programme like no other – built by the live music industry, for the live music industry. It’s designed to introduce people to the skills they need to pursue careers in the sector, leading to paid employment or further study.
The live music industry is worth £1.1bn each year to the UK economy and is exported around the world. It has been growing at 10% year on year and offers hugely fulfilling creative careers across a range of job roles.
Like many industries, COVID-19 provides a short term challenge. But, the live music industry remains a hugely significant industry locally, within the Liverpool City Region, and nationally. It will return, and Sound Check is an opportunity to develop the skills required to flourish within it as it does.
Sound Check will introduce you to the skills that could kickstart a career in the live music industry – from large concerts to festivals, these skills are transferrable across the world.
