Job overview

Tes is supporting the appointment of a Visiting Teacher of Piano - Self employed to join a High School based in Oxfordshire.

The High School are looking for an outstanding piano teacher to join their thriving Music Department, within a highly successful girls’ school (Years 7-13).

Initially this will be for around one and a half days per week.

The role

The successful candidate will be an outstanding musician, an effective communicator, and an inspiring teacher, able to teach the piano from beginner to post grade 8 standard.

You will teach individual piano pupils throughout the school age range (Year 7-13), with a balance between beginners and more advanced players. Depending on the interests and skills of the appointee, there may also be opportunities to work as an accompanist for grade exams and concert performances by individuals, choirs and ensembles.

You will be engaged on a self-employed basis, term time only. You will be responsible for creating your own timetable, in line with school guidelines, to ensure weekly lessons of 35 minutes are taught to your pupils. The number of pupils will vary due to demand but is likely initially to be approximately 15 per week.

The school

The High School is a high-achieving selective girls’ day school, and was Independent Girls’ School of the Year in 2023.

The Music Department is popular and active, with approximately 250 individual music lessons per week delivered by 27 visiting music teachers.

Their linked Prep school also has an active and successful Music department, and students often arrive in the Senior school having already achieved good standards of playing and singing. The department offers a broad range of ensembles, from beginner to advanced level. The senior ensembles regularly perform in prestigious venues around the school.

Practical and academic exam results are exceptionally strong; their most advanced pupils frequently gain places in national ensembles, and a number pass diplomas before they leave the school.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 5th December 2024.

All applicants need to have the Right to Work in the UK to be considered for the role.
