Music Teacher

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.

The April issue of Music Teacher explores ‘assessment & qualifications’ as our focus. It covers what assessment and attainment mean in the lower secondary school, how we could diversify progression pathways in instrumental teaching, and the process behind Graded music exam marking. More generally, writers explore climate change and sustainability education in music lessons, report on an exciting enrichment programme in Newham, and share ideas for composing as part of instrumental lessons. We also learn about using AI in the primary classroom. Finally, there are interviews with NYO players, tips on putting MS Office to good effect, and a monthly round-up of reviews and news.
