Music Teachers’ Professional Competence and Compliance With Ethical Codes

Abstract

Professional competence is the capability to perform the duties of one’s profession generally or to perform a particular professional task, with the skill of acceptable quality. It is the constant use of knowledge, skills, reasoning, and values, in our work schedule for the benefit of individuals and society. This type of competence builds on a foundation of basic skills, knowledge, and moral development(IAHPC, 2022). The skills are usually developed through training and practice, while the knowledge is the ability to apply information, facts, and procedures in different situations. This competence which is linked to the workplace is observable, measurable, and transferable.
