The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is an ensemble with adventurous programming that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves, and has been an anchor in Edmonton’s music community for over six decades. Our vision is to make music accessible to everyone and minimize barriers for people to access musical arts experiences. Our Educational Outreach team is seeking multiple qualified, dedicated Teaching Artists (Cello/Bass, Part-time) to join us in the YONA-Sistema program, which enacts social change through music education for Edmonton’s underserved youth.

You will also assist students with academic work and lead active games during break times.

 

Your qualifications include a post-secondary degree (preferably in music, education, or a related field) and a minimum of 2 years in a teaching or child-care setting. Experience teaching string instruments to children or working with groups of children is an asset. You are imaginative and flexible.

Successful candidates are positive, open-minded, empathetic, non-judgmental and committed to building strong communities. Your core belief that music has the power to change lives is essential to success in this role.
