The level of education required to become a music teacher depends on the type of teaching the individual would like to engage in. For private, one-on-one or small group teaching, having a degree or certification is not a requirement (although it can help improve teaching skills and client trust). For those looking to teach music to elementary, middle school, or high school students, earning a Bachelor’s degree and the necessary state-certifications should be considered mandatory.
Teaching in a Public Setting
According to TeacherCertificationDegrees.com, the following are the required steps for becoming a certified music teacher (in a public setting):
- Earn a bachelor’s degree in music or music education + complete a teacher preparation course.
- Complete a student teaching internship in music at the grade level(s) that the student wishes to teach
- Pass the required state tests for soon-to-be teachers (for a state-by-state guide, check out the Teacher Certification Reciprocity Guide)
- Apply for a teaching certificate
- Begin applying for open music teacher jobs
Teaching in a Private Setting
Teaching students how to play, read, and potentially write music in a private setting requires a dedication to music and learning, and in some cases, requires an equal or higher skill level at a single instrument than those that teach publicly. In general, those looking to privately teach music should have the following characteristics and skills:
- Strong teaching skills
- Highly experienced on at least one (1) instrument
- Business-management skills for managing money and clients
- Equipment, instruments, and coursework
