The successful candidate will have a high level of performance skills and an excellent base of knowledge and understanding linked to bowed strings tuition. A general knowledge of music is expected to an advanced level, as is the ability to communicate subject knowledge effectively.

Performance skills to post grade 8 are required on the specialist instrument. We expect candidates to be practicing musicians who are actively involved in music making. We are particularly interested to hear from musicians who have been involved in education projects or have undertaken teaching duties either on a voluntary or professional basis.

Our tutors work across over 90% of Dudley schools, delivering a broad and exciting programme of music education. Opportunities include:

  • One-to-one and small group tuition (beginner to undergraduate level)
  • Whole-class instrumental teaching
  • Work in special education settings
  • Leading bands, choirs, and ensembles
  • Contributing to our growing out-of-school evening Music School, based at our state-of-the-art facility at Cable Plaza

While we value experienced teachers, we are equally passionate about developing musicians who may be new to education. If you have strong musical skills and a desire to inspire young people, we’d love to hear from you.
