Job Summary
Bede’s is seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Trombone to join our excellent team of visiting music teachers. You will be stepping into a busy, thriving, and highly ambitious Music Department that prizes both technical excellence and a genuine love for performance.
We are looking for a specialist who can bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional-level performance, ensuring our pupils are equipped for everything from school productions to conservatoire auditions.
Key Responsibilities
- Expert Tuition: Deliver high-quality 1:1 bass guitar lessons to pupils across the 13–18 age range.
- Stylistic Breadth: Provide instruction across a diverse range of musical styles, ensuring pupils are well-rounded and versatile musicians.
- Performance Coaching: Prepare and coach pupils for school productions, musical theatre opportunities, and external performing engagements.
- Audition Prep: Mentor senior pupils through the process of preparing for university and conservatoire auditions.
- Departmental Collaboration: Work closely with the Director of Music and Performing Arts Administrators to manage weekly timetabling and contribute to the wider musical life of the school.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
