Erskine Park, New South Wales8 Music teachers near you

The profession of music teacher is practised in conservatories, in the national education system and as a freelancer. The choice of career path depends on this. To teach in secondary schools, it is necessary to have mastered one or more instruments and to have studied at university up to M1 (Master 1) in the field of music, then to take the CAPES examination (teaching in public establishments) or the CAFEP in musical education and choral singing (teaching in private establishments). If you wish to teach in a conservatory, you must have a certificate of aptitude which is obtained after a three-year diploma course at the CNSM (Conservatoires nationaux supérieurs de musique et de danse) in Paris or Lyon, or by VAE (validation of acquired experience).

As a civil servant of the French Ministry of Education, the music teacher is assigned to middle and high schools, where he/she is the only teacher, and thus teaches all classes generally one hour per week, more for classes with special music and dance schedules. He teaches his pupils music in a general way according to a programme defined by the Ministry of National Education: training in singing, learning solfeggio, introduction to various musical trends, playing a musical instrument, generally the flute... When he teaches at a communal, departmental, regional or national conservatory, he is more specialised and thus offers lessons in a particular type of music or instrument. His students have a variety of ages: children, adults and teenagers. And when he gives music lessons as a freelancer, he knows how to adapt to the demands of his pupils and generally specialises in one discipline.

Being musically inclined can be learned, but for some people music runs in their veins. People call on a music teacher to learn to sing, to play a particular instrument, to learn about different musical trends, to study music theory to improve their level, etc.

Finding a music teacher becomes child's play when you use a directory like StarOfService. You can find many music teachers offering private or group lessons in your region or city. All that remains is to choose the one who can make you become the next Mike Jaeger, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston or other famous artists.

In France, music lessons range from €20 to €65 per hour. The price is higher when the lessons are intended for students preparing for a music exam or competition. In addition, lessons can take several forms which influence the price: - Online music lessons: €20 to €30/hour; - Private music lessons: from €25 depending on the instrument chosen; - Music lessons at a conservatory: from €70 per year, determined by several criteria such as family income and geographical location.

The choice of a music teacher will depend mainly on whether you want to learn singing or an instrument. You will then turn to a specialised teacher if you wish to learn guitar, piano, violin or other instruments, or to a generalist teacher if you wish to improve your musical culture and learn the basics of music with solfege.
