Accordion Teacher Required at Diocese of Leeds Music - UKby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 The Diocese of Leeds Music is advertising for a full time classical accordion teacher to join their team in Yorkshire. The Diocese says "As our Schools Singing and Keyboard Studies Programmes expand there are now eight full-time positions for Choral Directors, Instrumental Tutors (Classical Accordion, Organ and Piano) and Assistant Programme Directors available. Our Music Programme, recently recognised by a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society award, works with over 4,500 children weekly in schools across West and North Yorkshire. Our 18 after-school choirs provide outstanding choral opportunities for young people, including BBC broadcasts, tours and recordings, with high-quality organ, piano and classical accordion tuition available for all choristers and school pupils across the Diocese. We would like to establish the largest and highest quality teaching school in the UK for the classical accordion. This modern instrument is relatively unknown in the UK. Its musical versatility and portability, however, make it ideal for more widestream music education, as has been achieved in Scandinavia and Asia. In addition, it is increasingly used in contemporary and experimental music. Owen Murray, Professor of Accordion at the Royal Academy of Music, has provided great support for this new initiative, and it is our hope that this new programme will enable children from the UK to study at the top international conservatoires. The Music Programme has a stock of 20 beginner piano accordions, six c-system free-bass accordions, a further 10 c-system converter accordions on order from Pigini in Italy, with a budget for additional instruments as required. There are currently 18 students studying accordion. The new tutor would be expected to lead the programme strand, increase the number of students, develop opportunities for ensemble playing (including choral accompaniment), produce a tutor book for the classical instrument, and establish a similar international profile for the accordion to that achieved by the Leeds International Organ Festival". All roles require enhanced DBS clearance. The closing date for applications is 22nd February, 2021.
