Peripatetic Teacher Resources

A peripatetic teacher in the context of music is defined as an instrumental teacher who travels between schools, often more than one.

We have created guidelines which outline many of the considerations that instrumental teachers need to take into account when evaluating the suitability of working in any school in a peripatetic capacity.

Please note that this document merely serves as a guide and is in no way enforceable as every school is different. It is intended to provide teachers with useful insights and questions to ask their potential employers during an interview process before engaging in any working agreements.

These guidelines have been compiled based on survey data collected about the the experiences of local peripatetic teaching members, and provide reasonable benchmarks and suggestions for each consideration.
