I have my BA in Instrumental Music Ed. and MA in Ed. Currently I am in my 32nd year of teaching middle and high school orchestra and chamber music. Are there many orchestra teaching jobs and where would I start my search?

I am currently getting my undergraduate degree in Music Education with a vocal concentration. I am also getting a minor in Italian. What else should I do to prepare myself teaching abroad? Are there certain things I can do now to put on my resume which would separate me from my competition?
Thanks!

You would need to check the application requirements for any job you are interested in applying for.

I already have extensive teaching experience in my home country for the listed grade range.

Thank you

That’s the pleasure that makes the work and planning and preparing very worth it. I would enjoy teaching elementary students in rural settings in Europe , Great Britain , or possibly South Korea. I’m married and have been teaching private piano for 20 years and public school music through guitar, recorder, rhythm , and class piano for 12 years. Yes and choir…..all elementary.

We suggest you contact the organizations mentioned in this article to see whether your credentials will be useful for the type of positions you’ll be seeking. As for teaching in the US, you’ll need to find out whether your education/training matches the requirements at the institutions where you wish to teach. Note that in the US, at K-12 public schools, field experience and state licensure is required and at most colleges and universities, a doctorate has become fairly standard. If you are interested in teaching in the US on the college level, you may find useful information on the College Music Society website.

It is a 6 year program that at the end gives you a “Profesorado”, or a national qualification to be a music professor. Is this good enough/ valid to teach music abroad?? Also, what about those coming to the United States? I am a citizen but my husband is Argentine and we both want to travel and teach in the world.

It is likely that these credentials will work. Check out the websites of the organizations mentioned in this article in the right-hand sidebar and talk with recruiters at these organizations to learn more specifically what they’re looking for in the international music educators they hire.

Will somebody still be eligible to teach abroad with a Bachelor of Music and an American teacher certification?
