Abstract
The purpose of this literature review is to examine research focused on first-year music educators in an effort to present recommendations for preservice music teacher education and research. The three bodies of literature presented include the following: challenges faced by beginning music teachers, views of beginning music teachers concerning their preservice preparation, and beginning music teacher induction and mentoring. This comprehensive review of literature will assist researchers in determining the direction of future inquiries.
