This position will be responsible for teaching piano students of all levels but should specialize in working with beginning through intermediate students – children, teens, and adults. Piano Instructors report to the Dean and are primarily responsible for providing individualized private lesson instruction to students assigned via the School’s placement process. Faculty are expected to be aware of the School’s core programs – Musicianship, Performance, Ensemble, and Progress – and to recommend and prepare students as appropriate for their participation in these core educational opportunities.
Reporting to the Dean, the Chamber Music Program Director will provide vision, leadership, and supervision to the School’s comprehensive chamber music program including pre-college, adult, and piano ensemble divisions. Working closely with the Dean, Associate Dean, Student & Faculty Services Department, and applied faculty, the Chamber Music Program Director will develop needed administrative procedures, hold auditions, form ensembles, assign faculty, supervise, and consult regarding the selection of appropriate repertoire, assess educational outcomes, and provide oversight for the scheduling of rehearsals and performances. The Director will attend, oversee, and function as the primary coordinator for all student chamber music performances on- and off-campus including recitals, festivals, and a variety of special events. The Director will mentor faculty and be available to students and parents providing guidance and working to resolve challenges.
