Introduce a minimum required level of qualification for music teachers.

Arguments in favour include that this would:
-Raise the standard of music teaching and musicianship in the UK, ensuring a minimum level of competence.
-Prevent people from wasting their hard-earned money on low-quality services.
-Stop unqualified teachers who charge baseline rates from putting qualified teachers out of business.
-Solve an equity issue, as there are minimum qualification requirements for academic subject teachers.
-Allow for more equal opportunities, as teachers of socially or economically disadvantaged children would be more able to spot and nurture talent.
-Attract more talented individuals to the profession.

I would suggest a minimum requirement for music teachers of grade 8 or equivalent on their instrument(s) and a qualification in teaching.
