Senior Orchestral Violin Tutor (Junior Department)
Royal College of Music £42.70 per hour Closing date 23 May 2025
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 an accomplished and experienced orchestral violin tutor to join our vibrant and thriving department. The post holder will be responsible for coaching the violin section of our RCMJD Sinfonia and RCMJD Symphony Orchestras in preparation for RCMJD performances and regular prestigious external projects. The successful applicant would join a team of eight highly experienced orchestral tutors who are all active professional musicians.
Principal Responsibilities:
• To attend rehearsals and assist RCMJD students and the conductor as needed
• To conduct occasional whole section rehearsals as required
• To be an advocate for the needs of students/other orchestral tutors as part of the RCMJD core curriculum
• To liaise with other orchestral tutors in order to disseminate information as required
We expect to be able to offer a minimum of 3.5 hours teaching per week, for approximately 30 weeks per year. Tutors will be paid to attend every Saturday during term time (up to 10 rehearsals of Sinfonia and Symphony Orchestra) during the hours of 11am – 2.30 pm. Some additional chamber coaching may also be available. Up to 7 hours of teaching per week may be available, depending on scheduling and timetable considerations for next academic year. The successful applicants will need to make a regular commitment to the RCMJD on Saturdays during term-time.
