Visiting Music Teacher – Violin – (Senior & Junior School) Maternity cover

About the job

Highgate seeks to appoint an experienced music teacher (specialising in violin) to teach individual lessons in both the Senior and Junior School from February 2022, with the potential to provide group tuition cover, as required, on the Junior Strings Project under the HeadStart programme. The role requires the music teacher to provide pupils with a rounded musical education through the medium of the teacher’s instrument and its range of repertoire.  

The Junior Strings Project follows the award-winning approach to string teaching developed by the world-famous string teacher Sheila Nelson that develops musicianship alongside instrumental skills. The Essential String Method is our guiding tutor, integrating musical awareness, creativity and technical development from the outset. The lessons are fun and simultaneously develop the pupil's technical and musical abilities.

The Director of Music and Head of Strings reserve the right to allocate the teaching in the schools between more than one candidate. This decision will be made upon reflection of each candidate’s skills and experience at interview.
