JRN: 704-22

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 8 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.

Chamber Music is at the heart of our educational and performance programme for every musician at the RCMJD. We offer one of the finest chamber music programmes for young musicians in the UK.

The RCMJD is seeking to engage several accomplished Chamber music coaches to join our vibrant and thriving department to coach string trios/quartets, piano trios/quintets or woodwind chamber groups

We are looking for candidates with the following attributes:

• You should be a widely recognised and highly respected practitioner, either as a performer or teacher.
• You will be teaching to an exceptionally high level of technical and musical proficiency, gifted and talented students aged between 8 and 18, so relevant teaching experience at this level is required.
• You should understand the particular demands of the music profession whilst striving to help each student reach the fullness of their potential.

We expect to be able to offer a minimum of 3 hours teaching per week (£36.90 per hour), for approximately 30 weeks per year. Up to 8 hours of teaching per week may be available, depending on scheduling and timetable considerations for next academic year.

The successful applicant will need to make a regular commitment to the RCMJD on Saturdays during term-time.
