In the training of music teachers, it is necessary to periodically update the professional profile that one wishes to form within the Bachelor's Degree in Music courses, taking into account social, educational and cultural demands. Therefore, when speaking of the teacher training of music professionals, it is clear that mastery of musical language alone is not enough to promote music teaching in today's society. This research has the character of a bibliographic review and its main objective was to find out what the ideal professional profile of the music teacher is for today. With this intention, we sought to understand the professional profile of the music teacher based on the concepts of qualification and competence. Therefore, also based on these concepts, we sought to investigate and highlight what the music teacher should know and how he or she should act in the daily teaching activity today. The methodology has a qualitative approach, thus, we sought to map the arguments of selected authors, who addressed in their research the training of teachers, initial training of music teachers and teacher training in music. The research shows the importance of professional qualification of music teachers with an emphasis on teaching knowledge and the development of skills and abilities, having higher education in music as a tool in this training process.
