<p>Teaching music opens the door for your pupils to pursue exciting careers. From music producers and sound engineers, to musical artists and composers, you may just inspire the next big thing.</p>
<p>Your pupils will learn more from you than you might think. As their music teacher, you'll guide your pupils through the skills they need to develop their appreciation of music and how it's constructed. You'll teach them valuable life skills such as reflective listening and how to make considered choices.</p>

<h2 class="heading--box-blue">What you'll teach</h2>
<p>Music is in the current national curriculum, which is compulsory in all maintained schools from the age of 5 to 14 years (key stages 1 to 3).</p>
<p>This means that when you teach 11 to 14 year olds (key stage 3), you will teach pupils the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-music-programmes-of-study/national-curriculum-in-england-music-programmes-of-study">national curriculum for music</a> including how to to: </p>
<ul>
<li>play and perform confidently</li>
<li>improvise and compose</li>
<li>use staff and other notations in a range of musical styles, genres and traditions </li>
<li>listen to a wide range of composers and musicians</li>
<li>develop a deeper understanding of music and its history</li>
</ul>
<p>When you teach 14 to 16 year olds (key stage 4), pupils can study music through GCSE, vocational and technical qualifications or through graded music exams, developing a deeper understanding of the subject.</p>
<p>Skills you'll cover when you teach GCSE music could include:</p>
<ul>
<li>performing music</li>
<li>composing</li>
<li>recognising contrasting genres, styles and traditions</li>
<li>analysing and evaluating music</li>
<li>making critical judgements about music</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>appraising contrasting genres, styles and traditions of music</li>
<li>developing an awareness of music technologies</li>
<li>critically evaluating the work of themselves and others</li>
