Town School for Boys seeks a full-time music teacher for grades K-3 and K-6 electives to begin in the 2021-22 school year. Music is taught in all grade levels from K-8 and includes work in music history, music theory and several performances throughout the year. The school recently opened The Dolby Family Center for Performing Arts, a state-of-the-art performing arts facility. Town is in the process of building out a performing arts program across grades K-8 and we seek a teacher who will contribute to the vision and creative integration of performing arts throughout the academic program. The music classroom is located in the main building and is well-supplied with materials and instruments.
The music teacher will have the opportunity to collaborate with a theater arts teacher as well as classroom teachers across the grades. The music teacher will develop school-wide performances for the winter holiday season and Grandparents’/Special Friends’ Day, as well as other curriculum-appropriate performance opportunities for the boys. The position also includes offering electives in the Upper School program and partnering to develop a robust after-school program. We are particularly interested in music teachers with special strengths in areas such as digital music, ensembles, and guitar. The music department consists of two full-time music teachers who collaborate on some programs and produce others independently. A Bachelor’s degree in music, music education or related field is required; a Master’s degree is strongly desired.
