About this role
VMT – VIOLIN
We are seeking a VIOLIN specialist to join our self-employed Visiting Music Teacher team from September 2026. There are currently 4 students having lessons in school and we anticipate strong interest from others with good potential to grow your teaching practice here for a pro-active candidate willing to undertake demonstrations and promotional activities.
Visiting Music Teachers play an integral part in our success and the one-to-one lessons they deliver complement an exciting curricular and co-curricular provision. Our advent calendar available via https://linktr.ee/csgsmusic gives a good flavour of a year in the life of Chis and Sid music. As you will see and hear, our music programme is thriving, with performances in classical, jazz and pop styles valued and nurtured, annual music tours and productions
Current teaching rates are £215 for a series of ten half-hour lessons, equivalent to £43 per hour. Visiting Music Teachers (VMTs) are self-employed and interface directly with parents with regards the administration and billing of lessons, subject to the VMT agreement with the school. Lessons are scheduled as per the constraints of the school’s academic timetable – with students either missing the first or second half of their one-hour academic lessons on rotation, with fixed slots reserved for students in examination years.
