In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady explores the intricate world of music education in Switzerland, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced by music teachers. The discussion centers around the findings of a new study by Matchspace Music, the largest platform for music education in Switzerland. The study, known as the "Tune Barometer 2025," surveyed 400 music teachers and highlighted a profession driven by passion but hindered by modest earnings, fragmented work structures, and limited adoption of artificial intelligence. Despite these challenges, the survey reveals that three out of four teachers feel valued in their work, although there is a significant desire for higher income, more students, and increased teaching hours.
Matchspace Music is taking steps to address these challenges by prioritizing digital visibility initiatives for music schools and teachers, aiming to strengthen music education across the country. The platform offers digital visibility packages that allow music schools to showcase their courses, easing administrative workloads and reaching new audiences. This initiative is part of Matchspace Music's broader mission to connect the entire music education ecosystem, ensuring music remains accessible and enjoyable for all.
