Professor of Violin

The Yehudi Menuhin School seeks to appoint a proactive, open-minded and creative Professor of Violin to join our school from January 2026.

The role is a Permanent, salaried position paid as a percentage of a full-time equivalent of £43,470 per annum, depending on class size, plus additional pay for assessments and other ad hoc lessons. A full-time position is calculated as a class of 15 pupils. Current expectations are that the successful candidate's class will incorporate 4 pupils for the current academic year with the expectation for more in 2026/27 and other teaching possibilities for the right candidate.

The Professor of Violin will be expected to take an active role in the identification and recruitment of new pupils in order to help support the work of our existing teachers and further the reputation of the School's violin department.

Each pupil at the School receives 2 hours of one-to-one Principal Study tuition per week, plus regular studio classes and additional support if required. It is expected that the Professor of Violin should be available to visit the School on a weekly basis to ensure regularity and consistency of contact time with the pupils, with face-to-face lessons being delivered on non-consecutive days so that students have sufficient opportunity to practice in between.
