The Yehudi Menuhin School is looking for a Professor of Cello to join a team of world-class musicians and educators working in a friendly, collaborative and collegiate atmosphere.
Acting as a passionate advocate for the instrument, the Professor of Cello will be expected to take an active role in the identification and recruitment of new pupils in order to help support the work of our existing
teachers and develop the reputation of the School’s cello department.
Each pupil at the School receives 2 hours of one-to-one Principal Study tuition per week, plus regular studio classes and additional supporting studies. It is expected that the Professor of Cello should be available to
visit the School on a weekly basis to ensure regularity and consistency of contact time with the pupils, with face-to-face lessons being delivered on non-consecutive days so that students have sufficient opportunity to practise in between.
The Professor of Cello will be required to attend mandatory INSET days as indicated by the Head, assessments three times per year (once per term) and may also be asked to participate in Open Days, auditions and other activities intended to promote the School. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the wider School curriculum, depending on availability, whether through chamber music coaching, performances with YMS staff and visiting artists, outreach activities, workshops and seminars, or other creative initiatives. It might also be that support for the Virtual Menuhin School, our online learning resource for young pupils based overseas, is required.
Professors work under the supervision and direction of the Director of Music.
NB: The Yehudi Menuhin School will soon be advertising for a full-time Deputy Director of Music (Head of Chamber Music and Supporting Studies). Applicants are invited to explore the possibility of incorporating this professorship as part of a larger role within the school.
