Job overview

An opportunity to join the team at one of the UK’s leading boarding and day prep schools.

For January 2022, Horris Hill is looking for an inspirational Piano Teacher to fill the teaching quota of lessons.  The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of inspiring young pianists.   They should be ambitious for themselves and their pupils and there is scope to expand the playing of piano within the school.

Music is a thriving part of Horris Hill life, with the majority of the boys learning at least one musical instrument, some learning more than one.  All boys have one or two classroom Music lessons per week, and many are involved in one of the numerous musical groups throughout the school week.  Boys who learn an instrument have a lesson per week, and have scheduled and supervised music practices in the dedicated Music School at least twice per week.

The Music Department is housed in modern, purpose built premises comprising a chamber performance arena equipped with a grand piano and 23 practice rooms.  Most boys learn a musical instrument and take part in a variety of vocal and instrumental ensembles.   In Summer 2020 the school opened a new, state of the art theatre, in which we aim to set new standards in prep school performing arts.

The School has recently become part of the Forfar Education group of schools.  This is an exciting development that will bring significant new investment and practical support to assist the School’s growth and evolution.
