We have vacancies for Musicians/Teachers (Upper Strings) within our team in Big Noise Raploch & Fallin, Stirling & Big Noise Govanhill, Glasgow. You will work with the Big Noise team to deliver excellent musical education and learning experiences for our children, young people and communities; this will include instrumental lessons, general musicianship sessions, and group teaching in our afterschool programme, as well as home visits and community performances.
