Motivation is important in the learning and teaching process, including musical instrumental learning. A less explored area of research in music education is the motivational methods used by instrument teachers to keep students interested. Our qualitative research aimed to understand the motivational strategies of practicing teachers and teacher candidates. Based on the self-determination theory, we examined the methods used to support the need for autonomy, competence and social relatedness. Our data collection included interviews with six instrumental music teachers and nine teacher candidates. The results show, both teachers and teacher candidates consider it important to support the three basic needs of the self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness). This study helps to implement successful music education.
