Austin County, Texas

2 weeks ago

Position Description:

Part-Time (6 hours/week) Lower School Strings Teacher

Position Title: Part-Time K-1 Strings Teacher

Reports to: Head of School

Exempt/Non-exempt: Non-Exempt

Schedule: 10-Month Employee/6 hours per week

THE GIRLS’ SCHOOL OF AUSTIN:

The Girls’ School of Austin is a private K-8 school of 150 students in the historic Tarrytown district of Austin. The GSA brings together a diverse student body with a strong emphasis on creativity, community building, collaboration, and problem solving. Classes in Spanish and the visual and performing arts enrich the strong academic program starting in Kindergarten. Significant use is made of the artistic and natural resources in Austin and the surrounding area.

JOB SUMMARY

We are looking for a dynamic strings teacher who is ready to try new approaches to group instruction. The Lower School Strings teacher at the GSA will be committed to the ideals of the GSA and able to inspire in their students a love of learning and of music. The successful candidate will have the ability to teach string methods and musicality to Kindergarteners and First Graders to set the foundation for skills growth through Eighth Grade.

The successful candidate will be knowledgeable in strings instruction and flexible about their approach. While many programs in the Austin area use the Suzuki Method, the GSA has built a successful Strings program rooted in Paul Rolland’s movement-based approach. Students prepare for two casual music recitals per year, and outside private lessons are not required nor expected of them. We are looking for a music educator who can skillfully incorporate healthy, non-competitive, and joyful approaches to the pursuit of applied music.

In addition, candidates will understand when and how to integrate social/emotional skill building, inquiry, technology use, and assessment into curriculum and pedagogy. The successful candidate will understand the value of working cooperatively and collaboratively with a community of other educators as well as have the ability to work independently. Flexibility and a commitment to your own learning are integral to success in this setting, as are a warm personality, a good sense of humor, and considerable patience.
