Abstract
This study explores the influence of professional identity on the teaching practice of four school
music educators, two from Spain and two from Australia. Narrative inquiry methodology was
utilized in order to investigate the full spectrum of their musical experiences, ranging from their
earliest childhood memories to their current positions in the education sector. In the course
of the co-construction of the narratives, two recurrent themes emerged: strategies to improve
practice and teaching approaches. Despite the obvious cultural and institutional differences, there
was a marked correlation of these themes in terms of their contribution to the formation of
each of the participants’ professional identities. Although these findings are derived from a small
number of participants they may provide insights for specialist music educators, teacher educators
programs, and for those considering a career in music education.
