The music industry currently contributes £4.4 billion to the UK economy, employing over 142,000 professionals and these figures are growing . At Higher Rhythm, we believe that anyone, anywhere, with the right support and enough determination, can play a part in this National success story.

The people who really know how the music industry works are the professionals who work in it, and so it makes sense that the best way to develop the skills needed to succeed in this industry, is to work alongside these professionals in real industry settings.

Higher Rhythm is a high-profile music industry organisation with decades of experience training real pros. We are a leader in music industry development across the Yorkshire region, have delivered stages featuring well known artists at South By Southwest in the US (the biggest music industry event in the world) plus several UK festivals, we make music for record labels and successful music artists week in week out, and support hundreds of aspiring music industry professionals every year to further their careers. We also run two pro level recording studios, a radio station (Sine FM), a global music distribution service, a record label, and are linked into a wide range of music festivals and venues. These real industry connections are what set us apart from a college.
