Sydney Conservatorium of Music Students & Graduates as Music Teachers.
February 27th 2009 02:52
Just a few days ago we attended another recital for an honours graduate from the Sydney Conservatorium, and we have to say that the quality of the musicians coming out of there is getting better and better every year!
It was a wonderfully well-rounded recital and we thoroughly recommend that anyone who has a chance to see these graduate performers go check them out!
Sydney Con of Music has recently updated & improved its Degree Course Structure, and brought in a plethora of very high class teachers. It is definitely raising the bar in terms of musical achievement within tertiary education in Australia.
Conservatorium students and graduates are often listed as music teachers around Sydney, and having seen the level of excellence which the Con demands, one could not go wrong in assuming that they make excellent music teachers.
However, not all Con degrees are the same!
For instrumental tuition (including vocal studies), one should consider Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music Studies graduates who are specialising in the particular instrument.
Musicology, Music Education and Composition degrees do not especially emphasise instrument performance. For instance, a pianist who is a student of B.Mus (Mus Ed) does not have a private piano teacher at the Con, and is not required to make any significant advances to their playing level during their studies. Their playing level may in fact deteriorate over the 4 years of their study, and they may have quite debilitating errors in technique which could be unwittingly passed on to their students and potentially ruin their progress!
Of course, many things make up a good music tutor, But that subject would warrant its own posting.
