Brent Music Academy (BMA) is an exciting new charitable organisation providing accelerated music, performance and industry opportunities coupled with pastoral and financial support to eliminate barriers to the music industry for young people from diverse backgrounds in the London borough of Brent and surrounding areas. Initially devised by long-time partners the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and Brent Music Service (BMS), BMA will address identified gaps in the existing music industry pipeline, working closely with partner organisations (including RPO, BMS, Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, Brent Black Music Co-op, Brent Council and others), families and educators to identify young people displaying relevant aptitude or ability - regardless of background or prior achievement - and design supported pathways into professional training, performance, work experience and industry opportunities. From small and large mixed ensemble and creative music opportunities (Performance
Pathway) to music business, production and administration training and project work (Industry Pathway), BMA will offer the highest quality experiences to talented young people from all genres/musical backgrounds, irrespective of socioeconomic or other barriers, with the aim of creating inclusive progression routes and pathways into the wider music industry.

Working with the BMA Director, this role is responsible for the organisation and oversight of the two pathway programmes. The postholder will play a key part in driving the Academy culture, placing inclusion and excellence at the heart of everything the Academy works to achieve.

Developed by local music organisations, Brent Music Academy is a charitable organisation that provides professional training for young people who display a passion and aptitude for music performance, production, business and related industry skills.
