WHY ADVERTISE WITH MUSIC TEACHER?
Since 1908 Music Teacher has been the leading magazine for classroom, private and peripatetic music
teachers. Our readership spans both independent and state schools as well as instrumental and private
teachers.
With our engaging mix of content, the magazine has become a staple
resource for music teachers, meaning your advert will appear in a trusted
and respected publication. Each issue has a theme, recent ones including
strings, piano, technology, rock & pop, percussion and early years.
Music Teacher magazine is the main supporter of Music & Drama
Education Expo, the UK’s largest professional development conference
and exhibition for music teachers, and receives extensive branding on all
Music & Drama Education Expo materials, meaning the magazine
reaches a wider range of teachers than ever before.
As well as our subscribers, Music Teacher is distributed to members of several
major music education organisations through our digital partnership scheme.
