Are you passionate about nurturing musical talent and inspiring the next generation of performers?

We are seeking an enthusiastic and inspiring Guitar Tutor to join the Encore! music programme on a casual basis. The successful candidate will deliver engaging instrumental lessons during lunchtimes or after school, helping students develop their musical skills, confidence and enjoyment of music.
