Peripatetic Music Teacher (Singing)

Please note the school does not accept cvs and will only consider completed application forms for shortlisting  

Portland Place School is a leading independent co-educational day school for children aged 9-18, located directly in the heart of the City of Westminster. It was founded with a particular purpose in mind: to be an alternative to the intense, large, examination focused independent day schools of which there are many in London.  

We believe that exceptional teaching, combined with a modern curriculum inside and outside the classroom, provides the best stimulus for children to become inquisitive, open-minded and creative learners and achieve beyond exams.  

The Music department is exceptionally well equipped and is at the heart of Portland Place School’s celebratory events and engagements. Music plays a key role in extra-curricular activities and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to run extra-curricular ensembles in addition to our established School and Chamber choirs who tour in Europe, and support in the school productions. The Music department consists of a highly skilled and dedicated team who are passionate about their subject.  

The school is looking for an enthusiastic and highly skilled Visiting Music Teacher (singing) with a passion for their subject. The post is permanent, two full days per week at £36.50 per hour, starting from September 2018.  

The successful applicant will be able to engage, motivate and drive enthusiasm amongst our students across a range of musical styles and genres (including classical, musical theatre and popular), where appropriate preparing and entering them for ABRSM / LCM / Trinity Guildhall examinations and Music Festivals. The applicant will be able to contribute, along with our team of Visiting Music Staff, to the further promotion and development of musical involvement across the school.
