Welcome to Janna Pacheco's Research on Music Education

Music teachers instruct individuals or groups in vocal or instrumental music and foster music appreciation. They may work full time or part time at home, in a studio, or in an elementary or secondary school, college, university, or music conservatory. The specific nature of a music teacher's work depends on the type of position they hold. Private music teachers instruct a wide variety of students from young children to adults. Some of their clients pursue music for enjoyment, whereas others are preparing for a career in music. Elementary and secondary school music teachers often direct the school chorus, choir, orchestra, or marching band, as well as give group and private lessons. They instruct students in the technical aspects of music, conduct rehearsals, and evaluate student performance. School music teachers sometimes take students on field trips to musical presentations, or the students may perform off campus under the direction of the teacher.

Summary
So, to be a Music Education Teacher you need to first, have a good temperment to work with people, and second, pursue a degree in Music Education.Depending on what type of teacher you want to be, you should look into a school that you think is right for you. If you like working with kids before they reach their teenage years, then elementary school teaching is right for you.

Some people pursue music for enjoyment so if you just like being in the band, then staying the professional musician route is a good option for you. Remember, private teachers will sometimes set their own rates between $15 and $60 per hour. Elementary and secondary school teachers make $44,500 per year and teachers who work at colleges, universities and conservatories will earn $70,000 per year.

To be an elementary or secondary school teacher you need to have a complete mastery of your specific field and general knowledge of other instruments and music areas. You need to have good communication skills so you can tell your students how to be the best they can be. private teachers don't need any specific schooling. Elementary and secondary school teachers need a bachelors degree in music education and a state certification. Colleges and conservatories require an advancde degree.If you are looking to get a degree in Florida, Florida State University has an excellent music program and well as various other colleges. See [] for more information on good music colleges.

I am interested in this career because I love to play my flute and be apart of the band and because the music that you can play with ther people, whether it be a march or a ballad, can be lots of fun when rehearsing it together and making it sound beautiful when playing it in concert. I'm also interested because when you become Drum Major in a high school band, you may sometimes need to help peole with how the music is supposed to sound and how the rhythms go. So you need to be aware that your actions are being watched just because you're in a leadership position. Even if I don't pursue a career in teaching music, I'll pursue a teaching career because I like teaching people what I know and helping them learn new things is very gratifying.
