WCIT is a key part of our offer and demand from our schools is extremely high. We aim to inspire pupils of all ages to develop a love of music making, and WCIT can often be the first engagement that children have with an instrument.

To apply, you will have an enthusiastic and energetic approach and an open mind to learning new techniques and approaches. QTS is not required, although experience of teaching is desirable, and the ability to teach more than one instrument or instrumental family is also desirable. You will also be computer literate with experience of using music technology, with good organisational skills.
