Tutor, Make Music Weekend School

We’re expanding our pool of musicians and tutors for our Make Music Weekend School and are looking for people to help shape inspiring musical experiences for children and young people aged 4 to 18.

Whether you’re an experienced educator, a performing artist, or early in your teaching journey, if this role feels like it could be a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

You’ll deliver engaging, inclusive and inspiring music sessions across a range of programmes, from first musical experiences to advanced training for young people with exceptional potential. You might be working 1:1, in small groups or with ensembles, supporting young people to develop their skills, creativity, confidence and love of music.

We’re particularly interested in tutors with specialisms in:

Music production

Piano

Violin

Cello

Woodwind

We’re especially keen to hear from people working in popular, jazz and jazz influenced styles, and those who use improvisation and composition in their teaching.

Our programmes are rooted in the belief that music belongs to everyone. We centre young people’s interests, identities and ambitions, working across musical styles without hierarchy, and taking an inclusive, learner-centred approach to everything we do.

When: Saturdays and/or Sundays (term time)

Where: The Glasshouse, Gateshead

Contract: Freelance or employed options available (flexible to suit portfolio careers)

Rate: £35.71 per hour (incl. holiday pay)

If you’re interested in applying, even if you’re not sure you meet every requirement, we encourage you to get in touch. We’re interested in finding the right fit both ways.
