Job overview
We are looking for a music teacher to teach class music to children aged 3 to 7 years. The ability to play the piano to a good standard will be helpful, but high proficiency in another instrument could be considered, as is the ability to teach singing.
The standard of music at the school is very high, with almost all children learning a musical instrument. The school also employs a large team of peripatetic teachers.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher with the highest expectations to take the next step in their career. You will have the strong support of colleagues and the benefit of working in a well-resourced school. The job is fun and professionally rewarding.
