AMEB Teaching Skills Videos
Access the latest research and practical advice on the fundamentals of studio music teaching with AMEB’s first on-demand Teaching Skills Video - Music Teaching Foundations. Plus you’ll earn a personalised PD certificate!
Studio music teaching provides a unique environment for student learning. Yet many teachers have years of experience as a student, performer or even teacher, without explicit training in the ‘how’ of teaching. Available now, Music Teaching Foundations helps to address this.
Over 30 mins, Dr Jennifer Blackwell will take you through prominent theories on how people learn and introduce approaches to successful studio music teaching that are both practical and backed by research. By embedding these considerations for effective music teaching into your instruction, you’ll be able to deliver more engaged and musically satisfying lessons - for you and your students.
What you’ll learn
In this video, Dr Jennifer Blackwell explains:
- key researchers’ theories of learning,
- how these theories apply to the process of learning music, and
- evidence-based best practice for teaching in the music studio, including lesson structure, pacing, rapport and modelling.
What you’ll gain
- A deeper understanding of how students learn,
- Practical examples of what works (and what doesn’t) when teaching in the studio,
- A personalised professional development certificate on completion,
- A taste of an AMEB teaching qualification.

AMEB has designed these Teaching Skills Videos especially for independent studio music teachers. They are not integrated with any initial teacher education programs and do not provide a pathway to classroom teaching in schools. You'll need to complete an accredited teaching course (https://www.aitsl.edu.au/deliver-ite-programs/apl) to qualify for teacher registration in your state or territory.
