1 Share of the music teacher secondary school role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the music instructor 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 secondary school role treats 25 of its required skills as things a music instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply intercultural teaching strategies
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assist students in their learning
  • compile course material

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held demonstrate a technical foundation in musical instruments handling and moving
  • already held teach music principles communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held improvise music communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held orchestrate music communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held musical notation arts and humanities
  • already held subject of music coaching education

All 40 carried skills, including the 25 the music teacher secondary school role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
