IVMTC AIMS
The Instrumental and Vocal Music Teaching Commission focuses on practice-based teaching and learning in various musical cultures and genres, with the goal to empower and support instrumental and vocal teachers in improving and enriching their work. The often-isolated environments in which studio music teachers work, has an impact on issues of professional standards and credentials, on opportunities for professional development and on shared experiences, knowledge and innovations amongst different instruments, music genres and styles. The IVMTC, with its newly established status of an ISME commission, aims to serve as a liaison between a wide range of instrumental and vocal teachers and professional associations worldwide and to serve as the umbrella organization for their professional development. Overall, it aims to support a wide range of music teaching situations including individual, studio, and small group settings, investigating, promoting, and giving voice to diverse approaches, methods and ideas that would further “professionalize” this field of music education. The IVMTC concerns itself with the principles and practice of instrumental and vocal teaching. IVMTC explores and promotes pedagogical applications, methodologies, research on, and approaches to instrumental and vocal teaching practices in diverse contexts.
