The Art of Music Education

Indispensable Companion for Modern Music Education!

Following the great success of his live-music books, Carl F. Hartmuth addresses music educators and those who aspire to become one with his book "The Art of Music Education".

This includes all musicians, regardless of their pedagogical training, who give music lessons in any form or lead a musical group—whether in a public institution, a club, or in the private sector as a freelancer or entrepreneur.

Over more than 20 years the author observed, tested, and researched what has proven effective in modern music education and what has not. He shows how music educators can prepare for a successful future in their profession, whether they practice it full-time, part-time, or on a voluntary basis. Hartmuth also thoroughly explains how a private music teacher can establish a livelihood or run a music school.

The Art of Music Education is presented by the author as a path to holistic support and personal development—for both students and teachers. The book serves as a companion for discovering individual paths by equipping readers with the most important techniques, tips, and tricks from music theory and practice and expanding them with current findings from related disciplines—e.g., communication studies, medicine, and management. It is an indispensable companion to modern music pedagogy that keeps both the performing person and the livelihood-sustaining music market in view.

The book, spanning over 480 pages, is written in the accessible and engaging style readers expect from the author. It contains numerous examples, illustrations, checklists, and a detailed index.
