Visiting Singing Teacher

About the job

Hours: 5 hours per week

We are seeking an experienced and highly qualified Singing Teacher to play a key role in a Music department with a long-held reputation for excellence.

You will teach students of all levels and abilities in an array of styles, preparing students for graded examinations, GCSE and A Level performances, and participate in events such as workshops, masterclasses and school concerts. 

Having the ability to convey both the technique of singing and the interpretative opportunities in music of all genres is essential, and it is expected that you will have secure keyboard skills. 

The choral tradition is a central part of the school’s community and you will encourage singing pupils to be part of this heritage by developing their musicianship and vocal technique skills to access this experience.

You will be joining a Singing Faculty which has a long and distinguished history of pupils going on to sing in Oxbridge Choirs, Cathedral and University Choirs throughout the UK and across the world. Alumni include Toby Spence, Robin Blaze, Andrew Kennedy, Tom Williams and Elizabeth Atherton.

If you would like to be part of our proud musical heritage and continued success, we would be delighted to hear from you.

We offer our visiting music teachers a competitive hourly rate. In addition, where staff live more than 20 miles away from Uppingham, a mileage allowance is payable for the return mileage from home to Uppingham for each full teaching day.

You will also need competent piano skills.
