Bristol Beacon is the award-winning music education hub for the city of Bristol. We work with inspiring and experienced Freelance Music Practitioners from different musical disciplines who teach in a range of settings including in primary and secondary schools and at our busy music centres in Bristol.
We are currently looking for a freelance tutor capable of teaching DJing in a 1:1 and small group setting, both to beginner and intermediate students, to join our Bristol Youth Studios project. We are interested in candidates who have DJing and teaching expertise, are familiar with CDJs, XDJs, and DJ software such as Serato & Rekordbox, and can instruct on Drum and Bass and related genres. Sessions take place Tuesdays 4:30pm-7:30pm.
We are an inclusive practice organisation and as such welcome applications from musicians experienced in working with children whose personal circumstances present certain barriers, including children in care and children with SEND.
Applications are invited from creative musicians from all sections of the community with proven teaching excellence, good communication skills and a passion and commitment for teaching music to children and young people from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from disabled and ethnically diverse backgrounds as these groups are currently underrepresented within the arts and culture sectors. All of our Freelance Practitioners receive comprehensive and high quality CPD throughout the year, including training, networking, and mentoring.
