Double Bass Teacher (Maternity Cover)
Royal College Music £36.90 per hour Closing date 19 November 2021
JRN: 707-21
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 5 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 mini-bass course is our pioneering scheme for double bass beginners aged 8–10. Established in 1985 by Caroline Emery, in association with the Yorke Trust, this exciting initiative allows young musicians to learn the double bass on specially designed instruments in individual lessons and small groups.
The RCMJD is seeking to engage an accomplished double bass teacher to join our vibrant and thriving department to cover maternity leave from January 2022.
We are looking for candidates with the following attributes:
• You should be a widely recognised and highly respected practitioner, either as a performer or teacher.
• Relevant experience of teaching gifted and talented students aged 5-18.
• Experience of teaching in a specialist music school or nationally recognised musical organisation (e.g. NYCGB, NCO etc)
• Experience teaching beginners/mini bass to young students.
• Relevant experience teaching online on either MS Teams, Zoom or other platforms.
The successful applicant will need to make a regular commitment to the RCMJD on Saturdays during term-time. This position is available from January 2022 (hourly paid, Saturdays during term-time only).
We expect to be able to offer a minimum of 7 hours teaching per week, for the duration of the maternity cover. Up to 8 hours of teaching per week may be available, depending on scheduling and timetable considerations for Spring term 2022.
For full details of this position and how to apply, please visit the RCM website.
