70%
40.5/ 100
1 Share of the music instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performing arts school dance 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 this move works
A music instructor role treats 19 of its required skills as things a performing arts school dance 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
- assessment processes
- 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 · What you already bring
Of the 39 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A music instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a performing arts school dance instructor background worth leading with.
- already held promote the conservatory communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform exercises for artistic performance communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held subject of music coaching education
- already held maintain safe working conditions in performing arts information skills
- already held read musical score communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held movement techniques health and welfare
All 39 carried skills, including the 19 the music instructor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a music instructor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 musical instruments knowledge · sector specific
- 02 play musical instruments skill · sector specific
- 03 teach music principles skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
