Workload is a big factor in most music teachers’ lives. Due to timetabling a small amount of time per class, we often have a far greater number of classes than our colleagues in core subjects. Many music teachers also have to juggle multiple part-time jobs or the teaching of additional subjects. This means having a large number of students that we must track and help progress, while simultaneously running extra-curricular programmes.
