We are looking to appoint a self-employed oboe teacher from September 2021, following the retirement of our current teacher, Mrs Rosie Curtis, after many years of excellent service.Successful applicants for the role will be committed teachers across the age and ability range and be keen to introduce pupils to the oboe for the first time. An enthusiasm for the recorder and the cor anglais will be an added advantage and there may be opportunities to lead chamber ensembles such as recorder groups or wind quintets.Instrumental lessons in the Music Department at the School are available to around 1200 pupils, including pupils at the Junior School (Reception - Year 6). Whilst efforts to recruit new pupils are likely to be successful, the Trust does not guarantee a particular number of pupils for any teacher. There are currently five enthusiastic oboe pupils in the school; both the Senior and Junior school would welcome a face-to-face recruitment drive as we recover from the difficulties caused by the pandemic. We would be keen for this to take place in the summer term, especially with our Year 7 classes; some individual lessons would be able to take place next term as a result of this.
