Abstract

Music graduates choosing secondary school teaching as a career and training through one-year post-graduate courses are drawn from an increasingly wide range of degree studies in music and embark on their training year with diverse specialisms and music skills. Yet these students will need to operate as generalists in schools with an ever-widening music curriculum. In this account of procedure in one institution, a view is given of the applied musicianship needed by new teachers and discussion of this invited from all providers of post-school music education and training. Data collected from students who may soon be responsible for music in a school indicate a trend towards improvement in only some areas of musicianship.
