Cello teacher
Royal College of Music £42.70 per hour Closing date 27 November 2024
Founded in 1882, The Royal College of Music (RCM) is a world leading music conservatoire with a prestigious history and contemporary outlook. Our excellence was recognised by the 2024 QS World University Rankings, in which we were ranked as the global No. 1 institution for both Music and Performing Arts. The College has held this world-leading place in Performing Arts for the three successive years, while Music is a new subject introduced to the rankings this year.
The Royal College of Music Junior Department (RCMJD) is a specialist term-time only Saturday school offering advanced training to musicians between the ages of 6 and 18. Students combine studying at RCMJD with their general education at their chosen week-day school. Students come together at the RCM London each Saturday for a tailor-made programme of individual instrument/voice/composition lessons, chamber music, orchestral and choral training, and general musicianship. Our staff are professional performers/composers as well as teachers and offer the highest standards of tuition and coaching. Most RCMJD students continue their musical studies at the RCM or other major conservatoires/universities.
The RCMJD is seeking to engage a Cello teacher to join our vibrant and expanding RCMJD string faculty to cover a period of maternity leave. The post holder will be responsible for teaching individual students and coaching chamber groups.
We are looking for candidates with the following attributes:
You should be a highly respected practitioner, either as a performer or teacher.
You will be teaching to an exceptionally high level of technical and musical proficiency, gifted and talented students aged between 8 and 18, so relevant teaching experience at this level is essential.
You should understand the particular demands of the music profession whilst striving to help each student reach the fullness of their potential.
We expect to be able to offer a minimum of 6.5 hours teaching per week, depending on scheduling and timetable considerations for next academic year.
This post is offered on a fixed term, part-time basis and is available from 11 January 2025 to September 2025 (Saturdays during term-time only).
Please note we will not be accepting applications submitted after the closing deadline and we are unable to accommodate any alternative interview dates.
