The Instrumental strand of the Programme offers students ages 5 upwards, an extensive curriculum including group and individual instrumental tuition, singing, musicianship, ensembles, as well as orchestra and choirs. Its staff are all experienced and dynamic musicians and tutors able to foster an appreciation for a wide variety of musical genres and opportunities.
The successful candidate will be working across the programme in a variety of way and you will bring energy to a role where you will be inspiring some of our youngest members and some of our oldest! Alongside leading our pre-grade 1 ensemble and orchestra, you will be as equally happy accompanying/directing a choir, taking a theory class, or teaching 1:1 lessons on your instrument(s). You will also enjoy arranging music for your groups, so the role is suitable for a composer, and leading students in devised improvisations to develop their creative skills. Responsibilities include planning repertoire for each term, monitoring student progress and contributing to student Individual Learning Plans for any 1:1 students. You should have experience of working with children aged 5-14 in groups and individually.
The role will involve working on Saturdays from 09:50 to 14:15 (hours can be extended according to individual interest and availability) for 30 weeks for the 2026-27 Academic year from 19 September 2026 to 10 July 2027, and is renewable each academic year.
