Music Teacher of the Year

Classic FM has teamed up with Avid Sibelius, Yamaha and Music for Youth once again to recognise and reward the nation’s most inspirational music teachers.

This is your chance to nominate a music teacher who you know always gives 100% to their pupils and instils passion for their subject to a new generation of music lovers.

As well as recognising primary and secondary school music teachers, the awards also pay tribute to peripatetic music teachers, those who work with children with special needs and newly qualified music teachers.  And for those who have made music teaching their life's work, there's an award for Lifetime Achievement.

The awards will be presented at the Music For Youth Schools Proms over three nights at the Royal Albert Hall on 8 – 10 November 2010.  

The six winning teachers will each receive thousands of pounds worth of music software from Avid Sibelius and musical instruments and equipment from Yamaha for their schools.
