DESCRIPTION:In a music conservatoire setting\, much of learning occurs wit
 hin the one-one instrumental music lessons between students and their teac
 hers. Within this context\,the present study aims to explore how conservat
 oire students’ self-identities are constructed in connection with theiri
 nstrumental pedagogical relationships. The research methods being utilized
  for this study include participant lesson observations\, and semi-structu
 red interviews\, supplementary by documents analysis. With a focus on a pi
 ano teacher and three of his students as a case study\, the emergent findi
 ngs of this case shows that trust\, mutuality and reciprocity as some of t
 he key elements that contributes towards the nature of instrumental pedago
 gical relationship for this case. Further\, the findings also show student
 s’self-concept as musicians are partly influenced by their teacher’scr
 iticism and encouragements. It is suggested by this study that the provisi
 on of various case studies of instrumental pedagogical relationships may o
 pen reflexive thinking in a way that is significant for the professionaliz
 ation of instrumental music education.
