The School is looking to employ a visiting teacher of Beginner Piano to join the current pianist team of five who instruct around 100 pupils each week.
The teacher will be required to teach beginner piano and early grades to develop technique and musicianship and to nurture a love of playing the instrument and performing ensembles. Pupils are taught classical repertoire and technique, while being encouraged to use this foundation to explore lighter repertoire, according to their taste. The current level of pupils is beginner Year 9 pupils.
The Music Department
Music has, for many years, played a major role in the life of the School. Ralph Vaughan Williams was a pupil there, and many pupils have gone on to be accomplished professional musicians, with a regular stream of pupils entering leading universities and music colleges to continue their studies. There are six permanent music staff at the school, and twenty-eight visiting instrumental teachers. There are many chamber groups, including string quartets, jazz bands, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra and numerous others. At least one group wins prizes almost annually in the National Schools Chamber Music Competition. There are also five choirs, ranging from a non-auditioning concert choir, two Chapel Choirs and Close Harmony Groups.
