The posting

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic specialist instrumental teacher of drums and percussion to join our busy and successful Music Department. The teaching is for beginners and be part of our amazing Wind, Brass and Percussion team where have routes to junior Wind Band, Popular Music and more. All students learn to read music and we run Trinity exams. Initially this would be for up to one day a week on a Monday or Friday, possibly 4 hours, but this could grow.

Woodwind, brass and percussion are a large team within Team Music. We teach both Trinity Classical / Jazz and Rock and Pop exams and each year we have students taking LCM diplomas. We have a full set of orchestral percussion instruments. Students support our ensembles, as well as taking part in our huge Rock School (which has over 12 bands rehearsing each week). Our primary wind band has 50 students taking part each week, our Junior Wind Band has 60. Our Concert Band is slightly smaller, but is growing again with our increasing numbers coming through. Both Junior Wind and Concert Band have full percussion sections. We have a Big Band and saxophone ensemble as well. Our advanced musicians take part in an annual tour to Ghent - a huge music festival. We are looking to develop a ‘middle school’ experience as well. Our teachers work as a team, so that all musicians receive consistent teaching. We use Involve for timetabling, attendance and lesson notes.

The ideal candidate will be able to work as a team and teach individuals at any level.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
