Are you passionate about music and teaching?
\nDo you love to inspire and support children and their families?
\nDo you have extensive experience of group teaching and orchestral playing?<\/p>\n
Following the successful launch of our third Big Noise centre in Torry Aberdeen last year, this is an exciting opportunity to join the programme as a Musician\/Teacher as we continue to roll out the second year of the programme in the Torry community.<\/p>\n
Based on the internationally celebrated Venezuelan El Sistema programme, our vision is to transform lives with music. We deliver our work through the creation of Big Noise programmes within communities, and we currently run three programmes in Raploch in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow and Torry in Aberdeen. <\/p>\n
You will work with children from pre-school and primary school, adults and eventually children from secondary school. Being creative in designing and introducing new ways of learning you will use the orchestra to grow children\u2019s confidence, respect, aspiration, drive and understanding. As part of the team you will develop innovative ways to engage children and families, including home visits and community performances.<\/p>\n
Educated to degree level or equivalent, you must have experience of working with large and varied groups of children along with a track record of success in giving music instruction to children on your specialist instrument (either lower strings \u2013 \u2018cello and double bass, or upper strings \u2013 violin and viola)<\/p>\n
The post is for 3 days a week during term time and up to 5 days a week during school holidays.<\/p>\n
