The Royal College of Music Junior Department (RCMJD) is a specialist term-time only Saturday school offering advanced training to musicians between the ages of 6 and 18. Students combine studying at RCMJD with their general education at their chosen week-day school. Students come together at the RCM London each Saturday for a tailor-made programme of individual instrument/voice/composition lessons, chamber music, orchestral and choral training, and general musicianship. Our staff are professional performers/composers as well as teachers and offer the highest standards of tuition and coaching. Most RCMJD students continue their musical studies at the RCM or other major conservatoires/universities.
The RCMJD is seeking to engage an experienced and highly-skilled choral conductor/animateur. The post holder will
be responsible for conducting the RCMJD Chamber Choir and the RCMJD Advanced Vocal Ensemble.
We are looking for candidates with the following attributes:
* You should be an experienced and respected choral conductor
* You will be conducting gifted and talented students aged between 14 and 18, so relevant teaching and/or
conducting experience at this level is essential
* You should understand the particular demands of the music profession whilst striving to help each student
reach the fullness of their own potential.
We expect to be able to offer a minimum of two hours of conducting per week, with an additional paid hour for
preparation, for approximately 30 weeks per year. Additional payment will be provided for involvement in concerts.
