As well as knowledge of teaching strategies, teaching repertoire and adaptability to the individual, the successful applicant will show an active interest and insight into current instrumental teaching, research and development, and in pursuing their own professional development as an instrumental teacher.
In general the role of a Visiting Music Teacher at Radley is defined as:
· the teaching, progress and development of each individual student within their specialism;
· designing a curriculum for each pupil based upon a shared goal;
