Visiting Music Teacher - Singing

The school is seeking an experienced, enthusiastic and highly organised Singing Teacher to be part of our vibrant Music department and teach individual 30-minute lessons to children from Years 2 to 8.

The role requires the teacher to provide pupils with a rounded musical education and the successful applicant will be an experienced and talented teacher, who is able to inspire young musicians to perform to the highest possible standard as well as being an active performer in their own right. The teacher will be able to develop their pupils' musicianship through building a wide vocal repertoire, developing practice routines, and instilling a love of music.

The Music Department is well resourced and, as such, there are many opportunities to support extra-curricular activities through additional group coaching and to accompany concerts and pupils at the direction of the Director of Music.

There are currently approximately 14 pupils. The teacher will be responsible for organising their own timetable, liaising with parents, report on progress, preparing children for music exams and encouraging children to perform in concerts.

The teacher, as with all of our visiting music teachers, will be paid directly by parents at a rate set by the teacher, usually between £26 and £30 per 30-minute lesson. The teacher will be seen as self-employed, and they pay a fee of £1 per hour to the school, to hire their teaching room.

Visiting Music Teachers are responsible to the Director of Music, in all matters relating to performance, ensembles, recruitment and pupil progress and the day-to-day management of their timetables.
