Mass Education
Commercial viability & Grass roots
Development of music
51
1-to-1 vs MASS Music Education
• The success of the BRITISH education is the
classroom. Syllabus. Leveling. Structure.
Grades and eventual standards that allow
MASS education – resulting in lower costs &
affordability.
• The failure of western classical music in India
is NOT doing this; but using a 1-to-1; guru-
sishya concept even for Trinity & ABRSM;
making money for them at the cost of Music
Education for the Student Consumer in India
52
Economics of Group LEARNING
• Not just 30 with 6+ Teachers.
• Immediate Target of 120
• Then 300
• Then 1000+
53
The Economics
• Current & not-viable
– 30-50 students paying Rs. 500/- per hour = monthly
inflow of 100,000/- per month. You can’t run a
Quality Music Department with that.
• Potential & viable
– Assuming 1000+ school; get 300 music-students to
pay for QUALITY music classes at Rs. 2,000/- per
month = Rs. 6,00,000/-.
Infrastructure+Resources+Class+Home+Own
Learning = Some QUALITY from the music
department.

Teacher Training
The real gap and focus for Music
International
70
Current ‘Teacher’ gaps / short-falls … • Mis-matched Qualifications / Certifications.
• Mis-matched Experience.
• Primarily one-Instrument Certified.
– Known problems with Trinity & even ABRSM
– Not performers.
– Weak in Theory.
– Do not play more than ONE instrument.
• Creating Marching bands, Orchestras, Chorus are TOUGH
• Every musician cannot become a Teacher.
– (eg. A salesman cannot promoted to be a manager)
– Motivation. Finances. Incentive. Career-choice.
• Can’t teach
– A syllabus.
– A group. Mass Education.
– Children.
71
The Music Teacher(s) Conundrum 1. Minimum acceptable Qualification & Certification.
2. Each Instrument is a specialisation. (There are easily 20+)
3. Mult-faceted Teachers are VERY difficult to come by and
expensive.
4. Good Performers are mostly NOT good Teachers. A good
Teacher is a good Coach.
5. Teaching skills; student-personalisation; using resources;
communications; creating materials is a life-long, full-time
discipline.
6. MUST BE good with Children. Like-it.
7. Syllabus adherence. IB. IGCSE-Elective. ABRSM; In-School
or OTHER.
8. Teacher(s) Assessment. Feedback. Improvement. Growth.
72
Teacher Essentials

– Play an instrument (specialisation) to an adequate
capability. Performance, Recording etc.

by-minute Lesson Plans.
