Our Academy seeks a Music Director for grades K-8. The qualified candidate will fulfill these responsibilities:
In unison with the Head of School, the Music Director will develop and fine-tune a curriculum for grades K-8 – one that integrates well with our Academy’s broader classical course of study. Ideally, that curriculum will blend practical instruction (in reading, singing/playing music) with instruction in music history and appreciation.
The Music Director will hold class on designated instruction-days and will teach grades K-8.
In the winter, the Music Director will orchestrate a Christmas Concert; in the spring, the Director will orchestrate a Spring Concert. Preparation leading up to those concerts will likewise be the responsibility of the Director.
The Music Director will lead Chapel worship on Fridays and will lead other school-wide worship moments throughout the week as well.
Here are the Academy’s desired qualifications for this role:
A bachelor’s degree or higher in music or a related field.
Knowledge of music history and theory.
Experience in elementary music instruction.
The ability to teach voice, guitar, keyboard and/or other instruments.
Interested candidates are invited to send their resumes and a cover letter to Mrs. Rachel Erickson, Head of School, at rerickson@whitefishchristianacademy.org. This position will commence in the coming academic year, 2024-2025.
