The posting

An inspiring Music Educator who masterfully delivers rigorous IGCSE and IB curricula and vibrant performance programs while nurturing students' creative expression, moral framework, and expanding capacity for service to society.

Key Responsibilities

  • Teach all areas of the Middle School and Secondary Music curriculum, including IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme courses.
  • Depending on the candidate's area of expertise, they would either develop and lead a vibrant choir programme or become an integral member of the school band program. Responsibilities may include vocal training, repertoire selection, performance preparation, instrumental instruction, ensemble rehearsals, and sectional coordination.
  • Provide individual and group vocal coaching​ to students, supporting their technical development and performance confidence.
  • Provide strong artistic and logistical support to the school musical and direct school ensembles, with particular attention to vocal and instrumental balance.
  • Demonstrate strong classroom management, lesson planning, and student follow-up skills.
  • Utilize diverse pedagogical approaches, including inquiry-based learning and differentiated strategies for ESL learners, to support a multicultural student body.
  • Embody and promote the school's ethos, core values, and professional standards of practice.
  • Maintain frequent, constructive, and supportive communication with parents.
  • Support and facilitate regional music events and interschool musical collaborations, particularly in choral and band settings.
  • Attend and support school events held on Saturdays and designated evenings, including concerts and performances.
  • Complete and update comprehensive curriculum documentation for the music department, with attention to the choir and band curricula.
  • Actively participate in and complete mandatory school-based and external professional development courses.
  • Communicate proactively with colleagues and administrators regarding the school's academic, behavioral, and moral expectations.
  • Cooperate diligently with colleagues on horizontal and vertical planning, administrative duties, and paperwork.
  • Bring a high level of creativity to lesson planning, departmental initiatives, and school-wide activities, especially in the development of choral and band performances.

Middle School and Secondary

Our Middle School comprises students aged 10 to 13, while Secondary consists of students from ages 14 to 18. The class size is between 20 and 25. Students’ English fluency includes ESL learners, but by Form 3 most are at or approaching natural-level proficiency. We emphasize vertical and horizontal collaboration between teachers and expect teachers to work diligently for their students’ character development, thinking skills, academic performance, spirit of service, emotional, and physical health.

We see early adolescence—also known as junior youth—as representing a special period of life with unique needs and vast potential. Therefore, programmes at Middle School for this age aim to engage their interests, mold their capacities for service, and involve them in meaningful social interaction with peers and older youth. Students are assisted to gain proficiency in various academic disciplines while also helping them develop their spiritual perception, powers of expression and a sound moral framework to guide their decision-making.

Students enter adolescence, also known as youth, in Secondary school. This is a period of life characterized by blossoming capacities, strength and vigor. We believe youth possess great potential to bring about constructive change and have an expanding capacity for meaningful service. Their sense of purpose and thirst for knowledge finds expression through greater ownership of their learning and growth. Our secondary programme aims to assist students to further develop their intellectual capacities along with the qualities, attitudes, and understandings that will enable them to make growing contributions to society. Through rigorous academic training spanning a variety of subjects, they are prepared to succeed in IGCSE exams in Form 4, the IB Diploma Programme in Form 6, and their further studies upon graduation.

Working Hours & Schedule

Teachers have 36 working hours per week, which is comprised of up to twenty 45-minute teaching periods, various responsibilities, and some planning time.

There are about 30 days of Macau and school holidays throughout the year which includes both Winter and Chinese Spring Festival breaks, plus about 50 days of summer holidays. Monthly working Saturdays—which often foster community engagement and extension activities—allow us to lengthen our holidays while still meeting contact day requirements.

Compensation & Benefits

The annual base salary, including housing allowance, is approximately US$44,000, after tax, and is slightly increased based on years of experience. This does not include the annual travel allowance, new year’s bonus, pension contributions, and a yearly re-enlistment bonus equivalent to one month’s salary. Furthermore, the government of Macau generously provides a teacher’s professional development subsidy of at least US$600 per month. Taken together, the after-tax total compensation that teachers receive is around US$58,000.

Benefits include local healthcare coverage, reduced tuition for up to two dependents to enroll in the school, internal professional development, and assistance in finding an apartment which includes a one-week hotel stay.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) directly in Music or Music Education.
  • A recognized teaching qualification (e.g., PGDE/PGCE) that includes a completed, full-time daytime student-teaching practicum is highly preferred.
  • A minimum of two years of full-time, post-qualification teaching experience.
  • Fluent in English, which is the medium of instruction.
