Janet Mills wrote that …
Some of the finest music teachers that I have observed, particularly, but not only, in primary schools, have no qualifications in music, and teach many subjects—in some cases the whole of the primary curriculum. They may never have learned to play an instrument, and they may not read staff notation well, or at all.
What
they bring to their music teaching
is:
T
heir
ability, typically developed in other subjects, to diagnose where students are, and work out ways of helping them to
learn;
A
degree of humility about their music skills that leaves them continually questioning how well their students are learning, and whether there are approaches that would enable them to learn more
rapidly
;
M
usical
skills, interests, and knowledge that are additional to those of the teacher in charge of music at the school, and that enrich the music curriculum of the school. Slide17
When teachers with little formal training in music teach it, their problem is often confidence, rather than competence. When I work as an inspector in schools, such teachers sometimes try to apologize to me for their teaching before they have even begun, and then the most wonderful lesson unfolds as they focus on the students, closely observe what the students can do and what they cannot do yet, and use a range of skills developed in other subjects to help the students make progress.
