Overwater Interviews - Music Education Special!

Overwater Interviews | Ben Jones (ICMP)

In this episode of Overwater Interviews, Dan Ezard sits down with Ben Jones from ICMP (The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) to explore the state of music education in 2025.

We talk about how technology, online platforms, and social media are reshaping the way musicians learn, and ask whether traditional institutions are still preparing students for today’s industry. From accessibility and funding challenges to the rise of content creation and portfolio careers, this is an honest look at where music training stands today — and where it’s heading next.

🔑 Topics include:

The current state of music education in the UK
The impact of technology and AI on learning
Are music schools preparing students for real-world careers?
Content creation as part of modern musicianship
Challenges around access, cost, and mental health
Opportunities for the future of music training

📌 Whether you’re a student, educator, or working musician, this conversation offers valuable insights into the evolving world of music education.
