HEAD OF KEYBOARD

RUGBY SCHOOL

We are seeking a talented and well-qualified pianist who will enter fully into the life of the

department and the School as a whole, starting September 2018 or January 2019.

The successful candidate will be an exceptional ensemble pianist and an experienced performer who will enjoy making music with enquiring young musicians and outstanding colleagues. The Head of Keyboard will oversee the creative and strategic direction of the department’s keyboard section. This will be achieved through an ability to teach piano, provide sensitive piano accompaniment and manage a team of peripatetic keyboard teachers.

Rugby School aims to be recognised as the top non-specialist music school in the United Kingdom. Music at Rugby School is exciting, diverse and of a remarkable standard. All our pupils, whatever their musical aspirations, are coached to reach their full potential in an energetic and stimulating environment. In the past year, several pupils have been successful in piano diplomas, have given solo piano recitals and have performed, or are about to perform, concerti by Mozart, Khachaturian, Prokofiev and Grieg with Bliss Sinfonia, Rugby School’s professional orchestra. Several pupils are active as accompanists and one currently plays piano in the National Youth Orchestra.
