Music Teacher magazine is the essential meeting point and resource for music education practitioners. Whether you teach class music, or are a peripatetic/private instrumental teacher, Music Teacher will provide you with invaluable ideas for your teaching, with substantial online lesson materials and a range of practical features.

This issue explores practical approaches to woodwind teaching, from embedding recorder in the primary curriculum to developing improvisation and repertoire for clarinet and saxophone. It also examines what teachers think a new national curriculum should cover, if GCSE Music should be reformed, how to sustain school ensembles, and, for visiting music teachers, the true meaning of self-employment. In addition you’ll find instrument and exam material reviews, and a summer feature on Czech conservatoires.
