VMT Violin and Viola

We would like to engage an inspiring, committed and highly-skilled Visiting Music Teacher (VMT): Violin and Viola, to provide services to our first-class Music Department. The Music Department is well resourced and, as such, there are many opportunities to support extra­curricular activities through additional group coaching and to accompany concerts and pupils at the direction of the Head of Music and Head of Choirs, Ensembles and Performances.

VMTs are contracted by the Head of Music and Head of Choirs, Ensembles and Performances. They are responsible to the Head of Music and Head of Choirs, Ensembles and Performances, in all matters relating to performance, ensembles and pupil progress.

The VMT will be an outstanding teacher with a passion for inspiring our youngest musicians to perform to the highest possible standard, as well as being an active performer in their own right.

VMTs are self-employed and invoice parents directly each term. They are expected to communicate with parents to arrange lessons, organise payment and report on progress. The appointment is in addition to the current VMTs teaching over half of the pupils at Newton Prep.

To start September 2026.

VMTs are free to set their own rates for individual lessons, and a facilities charge of 12.5% of this charge will be invoiced to the VMT termly. Work with ensembles will be paid by the school at an agreed hourly rate.
