Teaching Music - as part of musicians' creative practice
Di. 27.02.2024   19 Uhr

We would like to discuss music teaching as an interesting, enriching and inspiring part of a musicians' creative practice. Many musicians have to teach music as part of their overall portfolio, as it is a way to make an income with music. For many it is a necessary thing, and they would rather spend the teaching time on making their own music if they had the means. How can teaching be a productive and exciting part of a musician's creative practice?

We would like to discuss with passionate music teachers about their experiences of sharing musical skills and creativity with others. How have they started out and learned teaching? What are their best practices? What do they enjoy and what do they struggle with? What do they recommend to artists who are interested in teaching on how to get started? How much teaching is a good balance with one's own practice? What are different models – working with kids, with adults, with groups, with individuals .. and what are differences in approaches?

In the networking part of the evening, musicians can meet people offering training on music teaching or opportunities to teach, and take a first step to get started.

The evening is meant for both musicians who already teach as an exchange of experiences, and also musicians who are interested in teaching and consider starting to teach as part of their portfolio.
