Working at Christ’s Hospital

Visiting Music Teacher – Singing

Christ’s Hospital wishes to appoint a part-time Visiting Music Teacher of Singing. The position would suit a well-qualified and capable singing specialist who has an enthusiasm for teaching music within the framework of a large co-educational boarding school. Experience in teaching across a range of styles is vital but a specialism in musical theatre, contemporary, or pop styles would be advantageous.

Music is the beating heart of this remarkable school. Perhaps uniquely, every student hears live music played or sung by their peers on seven days a week in term-time. We aim to be concurrently inclusive and exclusive: students of all ages and abilities are encouraged and inspired to nurture enjoyment and skill in music; our 30 music scholars and other specialist musicians are offered an individual programme, allowing them to fulfil their potential and reach ever-higher standards of music-making. The performance opportunities for soloists and ensembles large and small are many and varied and include regular performances in London.
The Music School is a happy and vibrant place. Between them, the nine resident members of staff and around 35 Visiting Music Teachers (VMTs) offer a full academic programme (including IGCSE and A Level) and teach over 650 instrumental lessons a week, supported by a full-time administrator. We have a superb team of dedicated VMTs, diverse in age and career background. Some colleagues have dedicated their working lives to teaching; some are recent music college graduates establishing their careers; others balance teaching with high level playing in the country’s best orchestras and band pits.
