Instrumental Music at Doha College is a flourishing department that offers students one-to-one instrumental music, vocal and theory tuition. The team comprises a team of 6 members teaching instruments including piano, strings, brass, woodwind, guitar, ukulele and voice. We enter students for varying examination boards, competitions and festivals both nationally and internationally in our thriving and busy department.

The ideal candidate will be a versatile multi-instrumentalist (drum kit & percussion) with the preferred ability to teach vocal, and beginner piano lessons as needed. Proficiency on piano/keyboard would also be an advantage.

Familiarity with the Google Education Suite is desirable, along with strong organisational skills and the ability to adapt to a fast-paced, evolving environment.
About you
