Teacher of Piano

The Royal Grammar School, Guildford is seeking to appoint an outstanding and experienced Teacher of Piano from April 2026. The School has an exceptional keyboard department with over 100 boys currently studying the piano in the school, ranging from beginner to diploma level.

Every year, we have pianists who play to Junior Conservatoire standard (and beyond) as a matter of course, with most having achieved an ARSM in their younger years at the school before going on to develop into the kind of pianists who can perform concertos with a professional orchestra.

The post will initially involve working with pianists at the earlier stages of their musical development, but with scope to expand and develop the role in the future for the right candidate.

The successful candidate should have the ability to inspire, support, and encourage pupils, with a proven track record of success and a passion for working with young musicians across a wide range of styles and skill levels.

You will be teaching approximately 12 pupils (equating to 6 hours’ worth of teaching per week) although this may well increase. Lessons are 30 minutes long and the expectation is that you will teach 30 lessons for each pupil over the course of the academic year. This position is offered on a self-employed basis.
