Formed the NSRMTA’s Independent Music Teachers’ Research Group in 2003, with the intention of controlling our own research agenda and working collaboratively to construct our own knowledge about those areas we considered problematic in the field of music teaching in the private studio. Our research shared the experiences of five independent music teachers within a collaborative practitioner research group contextualized within the field of IMTs teaching in Nova Scotia.
