Music plays an important part in the life of Shiplake College. We are seeking an inspirational violin teacher who can deliver exciting and motivating lessons to pupils on an individual and group basis. Your lessons will include individual repertoire, sight-reading, aural, theory, and exploration of different styles of violin and techniques.
This role would suit a violin teacher eager to share their love of violin and music in a collaborative and innovative way. Students should leave your lessons inspired, enthused, and wanting more. You will have high expectations of pupils and the drive to help them reach their potential.
Applicants must be able to read music and accompany pupils. You must demonstrate a commitment to the highest standards of teaching and learning.
Our school environment fuels ambition and aspiration; we strive to ignite a spark, stir passion, unlock potential, and encourage each student to achieve their personal best.
