Saint Brigid Elementary School (TK-8) seeks a motivated and experienced full-time music teacher for a demanding music program steeped in the Catholic tradition.
The music program at St. Brigid school is jointly sponsored by the school and St. Mary’s Cathedral, tying into the Cathedral Choir School Project (sfchoirschool.org). The Cathedral Music Director serves as liaison between cathedral and school and oversees the school’s music program, but the music teacher is ultimately responsible to the school principal
The primary goal of the music program is musical literacy for all children in the school. To achieve this goal, a variety of methods are used, among them the Kodaly and Ward Methods, Noteflight software, a system using square notation to teach solfege, and instrumental instruction (recorders in grades 3 and 4, strings in grades 5 and 6, and handbells in grades 7 and 8---some of these could be taught by a second teacher). However, the primary focus is group singing.
Each class meets several times a week for at least 30 minutes each session. An after school program includes at present two ukulele ensembles and two string ensembles.
There are frequent school Masses, each led by a different grade, and the music teacher is responsible for preparing the students for the music. In addition there are two school wide concerts, one in the Winter, and one in the Spring.
Qualifications:
Experienced music teacher with at least a Bachelor degree
Committed Christian with an appreciation of the Catholic faith
Experience with the Kodaly Method, including the Curwen hand signs
Some knowledge of Ward Method desirable
Knowledge of recorder, strings, and handbells desirable
Familiarity with Noteflight software and application in the classroom
Thorough familiarity with square notation and Gregorian chant
Willingness to incorporate subject matter relevant to study in other subjects into the curriculum
Sense of organization and punctuality
Willingness to take on after school music involvement
Salary and benefits according to Archdiocesan guidelines
Resumes and letters of application should be sent to Christoph Tietze at the school, or emailed to ctietze@saintbrigidsf.org
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.
“The job is approximately 30% with the possible option of increasing over time. This is in a lovely school with very supportive teachers and administrators. The classes meet once a week for 30 minutes. Right now the classes are online and you have the opportunity to work with me. We can share the same website which is already set up and can teach the same lessons. That way you will not have to do 100% of the work since you are 30%. Collaboration is not a requirement in this job, but it might be a big help. We try to coordinate musical elements being taught, so you can also teach your own Kodály curriculum if you would like." - Jeffrey Luna-Sparks (M.M.Ed./Kodály HNU)
