The teaching profession is commonly linked to stress and burnout, with most research focusing on negative well-being indicators. Positive Psychology offers a strengths-based perspective, emphasizing the promotion of well-being as essential for teachers. While general teacher well-being has been studied, little is known about music teachers, who face unique demands as educators and performers. This scoping review examined existing literature on interventions that promote the well-being of music teachers. A systematic search of multiple databases identified 508 sources, of which nine met inclusion criteria. Across these, 18 interventions were reported, highlighting a need for further research in this area.
