44.5/ 100

1 Share of the music teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dance teacher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A music teacher role treats 18 of its required skills as things a dance teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assist students in their learning
  • bring out performers’ artistic potential
  • consult students on learning content

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 33 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A music teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dance teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held balance participants' personal needs with group needs management skills
  • already held bring out performers’ artistic potential management skills
  • already held create a work environment where performers can develop their potential management skills
  • already held subject of music coaching education
  • already held coordinate artistic production management skills
  • already held maintain safe working conditions in performing arts information skills

All 33 carried skills, including the 18 the music teacher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
