Music Teacher Magazine - Your Voice in Music Education

Music Teacher will inform, assist, inspire and entertain anyone who is involved in teaching instrumental or vocal music, whatever the context they are working in.

Our readership spans the formal and informal learning sectors from early years and postgraduate and adult education to teachers in private practice, state and independent schools, as well as music services, community settings and the learning and participation departments of arts organizations.

Written by a mixture of practitioners at the forefront of teaching and professional journalists, each issue includes news, features, sheet music and book reviews as well as notes on specific aspects of teaching and snapshots of the working lives of teachers and their pupils.
