Starting out as a teacher giving music lessons requires a number of decisions. Will the teaching be for a particular genre, is there a target age group, will the teacher be self employed or work as part of an organization? This is a wide field for teaching ranging from the unqualified learner starting out to the professional providing mentoring in addition to performing.
A music teacher can work as a self employed individual or can seek employee as part of a school or college. Within a school, music will be part of a syllabus. A college may be specifically orientated to providing musical training. A self employed teacher will need advertise for pupils and be the administrator of their business as well as providing tuition.
The choice of teaching establishment may also dictate the age of students. If a tutor is not interested in teaching children a school is a bad choice, a college could be preferable. For a self employed tutor, they can choose their students. The age of the student may also be linked to their level of interest ranging from the professional to the amateur. The teacher can choose from beginners of all ages to serious musicians wishing to improve a particular technique or area of musicianship.
The tutor also needs to consider what aspects of music to cover. There are classes for every individual instrument and for the study of theory. There are courses which focus on studio recording or on live performance. Some courses such as the studio recording work may need expensive equipment, rather than just the chosen instrument.
An individual working for themselves needs to decide how to provide the lessons. Tuition can be provided in a rehearsal room where there is soundproofing and often some equipment. Alternatively to reduce their costs the tutor may wish to travel directly to the learners house or have the learner come to the tutors home to avoid the costs of a room that is only used part time.
In a school, the class will have a standard number of pupils. In a college the number of pupils will be smaller and more focused. A tutor providing their own lessons can choose class size. Normally sessions would be aimed at one person or several individuals to focus on the quality of the teaching.
The tutor may have different musical tastes to their pupils. If they work as part of a school or college, then there will be a syllabus which has certain requirements. A self employed teacher may prefer to teach certain styles or lack confidence in genres they are unfamiliar with. A good teacher will aim to encourage their pupils to explore different types of music in their learning experience.
