You do you very best for your students. You listen to their scales, their studies, their concertos, their personal problems and their excuses. You put in extra time to prepare them for concerts and competitions, and to help them buying instruments. You do your best to prepare them for a career in music.

The Strad can help to support you in your hard work, offering invaluable tools for your students to face a competitive music world feeling informed, confident, engaged and, above all, inspired.

Over the next few weeks, we will be telling you about the benefits that we offer your students, giving away free content from The Strad that demonstrates this. So keep coming back every Monday and Wednesday to find out what we have to give you.
