LCME partners with UK Music Teachers
London College of Music Examinations (LCME) has partnered with UK Music Teachers, an online directory where parents and students search for a music teacher by instrument and location.
The partnership gives UK-based LCME teachers a new way to be found by new students. Teachers can create a profile on UK Music Teachers and receive enquiries directly from students and parents. There are no referral fees.
For parents and students, UK Music Teachers makes it easier to find a teacher who can prepare them for LCME exams.
The partnership also replaces the Registry of Guitar Tutors (RGT) membership scheme. The RGT “Find a tutor” directory will redirect to UK Music Teachers over the coming months. RGT members have been contacted directly about the change and how to sign up, and RGT teaching resources are now available on the LCME website.
Ben Norbury, Director of Exams at LCME, said: “Teachers and music tutors tell us that finding new students is one of the hardest parts of their jobs. This partnership gives them a platform built for exactly that, and it helps parents find teachers who can take their children through recognised qualifications.”
UK Music Teachers is run by Global Music Teachers, which operates teacher directories in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada.
Although the partnership is launching in the UK, the plan is to expand to other countries in the future, including New Zealand.
