We also offer the A level in Music Technology and are home to the Hampshire Specialist Music Course, a gifted and talented programme which includes coaching in chamber music. Many of our students go on to study at the country’s most competitive conservatoires, universities and contemporary academies.
We have a vacancy for a Teacher of Bass guitar to join the team on a part time basis. This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional player and teacher, who can help young people develop their skills and interests and who can motivate and inspire them to perform to their potential in concerts and assessments.
