About the Team:
Brixton Hill Music Centre - music tuition
We are seeking an enthusiastic drum kit tutor to join our Lambeth Music Service team, delivering drum kit tuition to age 7 – to 18-year-old pupils at the Brixton Hill Music Centre.

About the Role:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The tutor will deliver individual and shared drum kit and percussion sessions, helping pupils develop their rhythm, ensemble awareness, listening skills, confidence, and general musicianship. Brixton grill music centre sessions give children the opportunity to learn through practical, inclusive music-making, while building the foundations for a broad and exciting musical future.
We are looking for someone who is confident delivering engaging lessons, able to manage in an individual and shared setting, and passionate about helping children experience the joy of playing music together.
Experience teaching drum kit in schools, community settings, or whole-class ensemble contexts would be especially welcome.
Successful applicants will be added to our team of sessional music tutors and will also be offered other work as it becomes available, which may include whole-class ensemble tuition, peripatetic teaching, and teaching at our Saturday Music Centre.
