About the event

Join Dr Ed Jones for an online session on financial planning for musicians – from early stages of career development and established career considerations to retirement planning. 

The webinar will cover benefits afforded to MU members - including the insurances, pension schemes, and protection available to you. While the webinar will relate to many different circumstances, it will focus on early stages of career builders, and those who may have not considered the full importance of their finances.

It will also cover other salient considerations for your own financial health including:

  • What you can do to help with applying for a mortgage
  • Tax reliefs available,
  • How to plan ahead for a more comfortable financial picture.
