Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of experienced music teachers (N=19)regarding professional development throughout their careers. Data included: mid-career teacher interviews (n=13), veteran teacher interviews (n=6), a focus group with some of the veteran teachers (n=4), and the principal investigator�s log. Findings support past research in that teachers perceived informal interactions with other music teachers as the most powerful form of professional development. Findings also suggest that professional development needs of music teachers may change throughout their careers. Implications of the findings are explored and suggestions for future research are provided.
