Jazz Piano Professor

The Guildhall School of Music & Drama is looking to expand our team of hourly paid Jazz Piano Professors to teach weekly one-to-one lessons and occasional group masterclasses on our undergraduate Jazz programmes.

Candidates should have considerable experience as a professional jazz pianist, with an established profile as a performer, educator, composer and/or arranger. Applicants should demonstrate expertise in jazz performance and improvisation, and have experience of working across a range of jazz styles and ensemble settings.

The successful applicant will be committed to supporting students' musical, artistic and professional development, preparing them for performances, examinations and future careers in the profession. Experience of delivering masterclasses, coaching ensembles and contributing to the wider jazz community would be advantageous.

Salary: £57.14 per hour to £61.20 per hour (including holiday pay), depending on experience and standing. Initially 12 months fixed with potential for transitioning to permanent.

Guildhall School welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. We are particularly keen to encourage interest from people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+, Black, Asian, and other global majority backgrounds who are currently under-represented at Guildhall School.
