We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented piano teacher with a passion for jazz and popular music to join our dynamic and growing music department. The successful candidate will have a strong focus on jazz and popular repertoire, inspiring students to develop their skills and creativity.
While this role is primarily focused on piano teaching, there will be exciting opportunities to contribute more widely to the department. Jazz and popular music are areas of significant growth at the school, with regular Open Mic events throughout the year and the school Jazz Band expanding in both size and quality year on year.
In 2023, our music department underwent a major refurbishment, which included the addition of a state-of-the-art recording suite, studio, band room, and Music Technology classroom. This presents an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to take full advantage of these new facilities and help shape the future of our department.
Our piano faculty currently runs a popular ‘Piano Circus’ ensemble, which encourages collaborative playing. We would love for the successful candidate to contribute to this initiative, welcoming new pupils and fostering a love of ensemble music in a fun and creative environment.
Desirable Skills and Experience:
* A background, interest, or experience in jazz piano and/or popular music
* Experience teaching a range of students, from beginners to advanced
* Ability to inspire and motivate students through engaging lessons and performances
* A collaborative approach to working with other members of the music department
* Passion for ensemble music and performance
If you are passionate about sharing your love for jazz and popular music and would be interested in making a contribution to our growing department, we would love to hear from you!
