Position Overview & Specifications

WE ARE HIRING

Music Lab (Leeds) is looking for a new guitar/bass teacher to run private lessons.

The candidate must have experience running group classes, a DBS certificate and be willing to work under self-employment status.

We expect consistency and sadly we cannot allow for schedule changes.

Send your CV and please include two references whenever possible.

Music Lab is far more than just your "regular" music school. We were founded with basic principles in mind:

Everyone CAN learn;

Everyone SHOULD have access to learner-centred education;

No one should feel that talent is a barrier to education.

WHAT IS LEARNER-CENTRED EDUCATION?

Besides being our favourite thing in the world? Learner-centred education is an approach to teaching with which the student takes control over the pace, the model and the next steps of their educational journey.

Many times, we see a "curriculum-centred" approach being used. What this means, is that the teachers decide what to teach, when to teach it and how fast to teach it before moving onto the next "chapter".

We strongly disagree with this model. And Music Lab is at the forefront of this change to a better model - mainly focused on the idea of GROWTH MINDSET.

WHO IS MUSIC LAB FOR?

I would love to say... EVERYONE! But, the reality is...

Music Lab is for those with curiosity in their hearts. It's for those with the spirit of a beginner, even when an expert. It's for those who never surrender to obstacles, for they know how valuable these are.

Is this you? Then come on in!

Music Lab is a social enterprise that focuses on spreading the message of a better education system and better ways to deliver growth mindset and self-development.

Yes, you will learn how to play music.

But you will leave knowing how to learn about the world.
