Job overview

King’s School Rochester seeks an inspiring and enthusiastic Teacher of Singing to teach nine singing pupils as a peripatetic teacher. 

The music department at King’s is a friendly, busy environment in which pupils thrive: Last year alone, alumni won places to study music at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and Guildhall School of Music and Drama; a Lower Sixth pupil has performed four roles at the Royal Opera House and pupils hold places in the National Youth Orchestra, National Youth Training Choir and Kent County Orchestra.  In 2020, a King’s pupil won the Woodard Schools’ Young Musician Competition, with entries from 37 schools.

Interviews will take place on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th June 2021

The choral tradition at King’s remains one of the pillars of the school: The Cathedral Choristers have been educated at King’s for centuries and the school has had a close association with the Cathedral since its founding in 604AD.
