Sumario:This study delves into teachers’ knowledge of training in and use of contemporary music at different conservatories across Spain. The objectives focus on the need to analyze why contemporary music is not taught uniformly in the different conservatories, leading to questions about the use made by teachers. Research has been designed using 113 participants forming part of this conservatory teaching staff and who responded to an ad hoc questionnaire. The results show that teachers consider themselves poorly trained and thus scarcely handle this content. Correlations are found between the training teachers receive in how to approach contemporary music and their use of it in conservatory classrooms. This data provides some responses to the issues and questions that should be explored further to find solutions and improve in this area. Contemporary music forms part of daily life and its study provides well-rounded development for current students, with conservatories being key places to carry out this type of research
