Music education charity London Music Masters has taken the decision to waive the Team Teach course fee for 2020/21 as part of their commitment to support music teachers during the coronavirus crisis.
The Team Teach course would usually cost £2,750 and is aimed at musicians who are passionate about sharing their love for music through teaching.
Rob Adediran, executive director, London Music Masters, said: ‘Self-employed teachers have been some of the hardest hit financially by the economic upheaval caused by the coronavirus. Many of them fall between the cracks of the government's support.
‘When this crisis is over, we will need a confident, equipped and resilient music teaching workforce to help reignite the creative voice of our nation's children. In recognition of this need, London Music Masters is entirely waiving the fees for its yearlong professional development programme, Team Teach, which is aimed at musicians who teach children in a group setting.
‘We see this as an investment in the future of our nation's children - the vast majority of whom first learn to play a musical instrument in a group. Our hope is that this decision will give music teachers the confidence to commit to a 12-month training programme which could transform the way they work for years to come.’
