Available research on teachers’ education is rich and diverse. In this paper, an overview of main relevant literature in the fields of teachers’ training and curriculum development is presented, also discussing the representations that it reflects of the understanding of higher education teachers for the training of teachers of Music in Portugal: Which role is attributed to the higher education teacher in organizing curriculum and teaching for students of Music? Which are their predominant perceptions about the required knowledge for those students and the ways to construct and mobilize it in the future teachers? The confrontation of data of empirical research with reviewed literature, within a doctoral program of Portuguese Catholic University, indicate the need for training institutions to reinforce in their programs for future teachers of Music, the reflection and promotion of a broader view of professional knowledge of teachers and the specificity of teaching profession.
