Studio Teaching 1 is a subject focused on instrumental and vocal teaching in the private and commercial studio settings, which builds upon students’ current musical skills and knowledge.
Students will be involved in formal observations of best studio practice, with up to two established teachers, in a range of private and commercial music studios throughout Melbourne in consultation with the Victorian Music Teachers’ Association (VMTA) and other providers. This work experience will focus on beginner/early years learners and students will have the opportunity to observe specific teaching approaches and implementation strategies for this level, time management, learning activities and outcomes as well as a basic overview of the business model/set up of private studios.
Through participation in seminars and workshops, students will develop their knowledge and understanding of studio music programs by researching available repertoire related to their specific instrument speciality as reflected in the various music examinations board programs (e.g. AMEB, ANZCA, ABRSM, Trinity). Students will explore the characteristics of an effective teacher; investigate the key components of preparing/planning age-appropriate learning activities and develop a range of targeted teaching strategies for younger learners.
All students enrolled in this subject must provide a Working With Children Check before commencing work experience observations.
