Tutor Junior Conservatoire - Vocal studies & industry insights

4 hours on Saturday (term time only)
Leeds Junior Conservatoire is recruiting for a Tutor – Vocal studies & industry insights

We are looking for an enthusiastic musician-educator to work across a range of classes including Music Theory & Practical Musicianship, Leeds Junior Conservatoire Experience Band and Composition, helping students to deepen their understanding of music whilst developing their creativity, collaborative skills and musical confidence.

Leeds Junior Conservatoire (LJC) is a thriving community of young musicians, creators and performers from across Yorkshire and the North, offering exceptional opportunities for students aged 8–18 to develop their musical skills and creativity.

At LJC, we foster an inclusive, supportive environment where every young person can thrive. As part of our collaborative team of passionate educators and industry professionals, you will help nurture artistic ambition, self-expression and a lifelong love of music.

(Hourly rate is inclusive of prep time and holiday pay)

As part of this role, you will teach across four areas of our programme:

Develop students’ core singing technique through work on breath control, vocal health, tone production, musicianship, stylistic awareness and performance confidence. Students explore a variety of contemporary and commercial repertoire while building strong vocal foundations.

Support students to develop the specialist skills required for musical theatre performance, combining vocal technique with storytelling, interpretation, characterisation and stagecraft. Students explore repertoire from a range of musical theatre styles and eras.

Work with experienced and committed young singers to refine advanced vocal technique, artistry and performance practice. Students are encouraged to develop their own artistic identity, interpret challenging repertoire and prepare for future musical study and performance opportunities.

Introduce students to the wide range of careers and opportunities within the music and performing arts industries. Through discussion, practical activities and guest insights where appropriate, students gain a greater understanding of the skills, pathways and professional expectations of working as a contemporary artist, vocalist or performer.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a practitioner who is passionate about vocal education and helping young people discover their creative potential through singing and performance.

You will:

• Deliver engaging, inclusive and differentiated teaching for students aged 8–18, fostering creativity, confidence and musical independence.
• Monitor student progress, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to curriculum development, assessment and teaching administration.
• Collaborate with colleagues to support student success, maintain high teaching standards, and contribute to performances, open days and other LJC events.
