The school seeks an adjunct instructor to teach one-on-one lessons on drum set and percussion as part of its Individual Music Instruction (IMI) program. Students elect weekly lessons of 40 or 60 minutes for the duration of the school year. These lessons are scheduled during the academic school day during mutual free time between the teacher and student. Occasionally, lessons may be conducted before or after school, as needed. Additional responsibilities may include coaching a small percussion ensemble.
The successful candidate will hold a degree in music performance or a closely-related field, along with a demonstrated history of successful teaching and performance. Candidates should be comfortable working with high school students at all levels who are interested in a variety of musical styles.
