The working group for Instrumental/Vocal Music Teacher Training
The work contexts and professional roles of instrumental/vocal teachers are rapidly changing. Not only are pupils drawn from a multitude of musical, cultural and social backgrounds, but also the actual teaching environment and content have changed (e.g. combining individual and group teaching, coping with a wider spectrum of musical genres and learning styles). These changes challenge the existing educational framework, content and structure of courses, as does the "Bologna" process, bringing the importance of international collaboration between institutions and a dialogue within the professional field to the forefront.
This working group is concerned with the training of instrumental and vocal music teachers in Europe. It is developing a set of competences for instrumental/vocal teacher training that will supplement the existing AEC learning outcomes, as well as national descriptions of systems for instrumental/vocal teacher training in Europe. Moreover, the group is reflecting on current trends and challenges regarding the changing role of instrumental/vocal music teachers and organising 2 seminars to disseminate and discuss their findings with a broader audience.
