Music Teacher

The UK’s leading magazine for music teachers, whether classroom or instrumental

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.

November’s issue of Music Teacher focuses on piano and keyboard, with thought-provoking articles on pedagogy, collaboration, playing by ear and overcoming barriers. Nicholas McCarthy discusses music education and his extraordinary career as a one-handed pianist, and esteemed keyboard pedagogues investigate teamwork, integrated pedagogy, teaching for small hands, and whether notation holds us back. Elsewhere, we interview HMI Christopher Stevens, regarding the new Ofsted subject report, and hear from experts on music teacher training, AI in the classroom, and how to run a successful teaching business during a financial down-turn. You can also read about an exciting orchestra-school partnership in north London.
