Strings Teacher

We are looking to appoint a passionate and committed upper strings teacher to join our team of 12 string teachers. The role includes a varied teaching commitment comprising individual and small-group lessons in schools, WCET (whole class) teaching, working with clubs and ensembles.

This is an exciting time to join Redbridge Music Service as we have high and increasing numbers of pupils learning stringed instruments and an expanding lower string department following a recent initiative to encourage pupils to learn the cello. We have a range of ensembles, with access to Mini Strings from their very first violin lesson to the Symphony Orchestra which performs a range of demanding repertoire. Our string pupils achieve high results, and a good proportion of pupils go on to study music in Higher Education. It would be an asset to be able to teach viola and cello to at least Grade 1 level and/or double bass, but not a requirement. The ability to do so would open the potential for additional teaching hours.

This role is part-time with a preference to include a Tuesdays. Working for Redbridge Music Service Based at the John Savage Centre in Hainault, and delivering tuition in 52 Redbridge schools you will find yourself immersed in a world of musical energy, surrounded by instruments, creativity, and passion for teaching children but also adults, toddlers, and even babies. With over 50 concerts per year, including performances at iconic venues like the Royal Albert Hall, your role will directly impact the musical journeys of talented students in the community.

Essential requirements:

• Music Degree or equivalent
• Good Musical Skills, effective oral and Written communication
• High level of performance on your main instrument
• Good knowledge of the technical demands of any instrument you are competent to teach.
