Job Description

Music Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the West Midlands

Start date: 8 October 2026

Are you an experienced musician looking to pass your knowledge and craft on to the next generation of performers and producers?

About the Role

As a Music Lecturer, you'll deliver engaging, well-structured teaching across music programmes, helping learners build the technical skills, creativity and confidence they need to progress into further study or employment.

You'll join a supportive team at a further education provider in the West Midlands, where you'll plan lessons, assess learners' work and create an inclusive environment in which students feel motivated to achieve.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering music lessons across a range of levels.
  • Teaching both practical sessions and the underpinning theory.
  • Assessing, marking and giving constructive feedback on learners' work.
  • Monitoring learner progress and providing support where it's needed.
  • Contributing to the ongoing development of the curriculum.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in music, or significant professional experience in the industry
  • Strong subject knowledge across practical and theoretical music
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience teaching or assessing in a further education setting

If you're ready to help learners turn their passion for music into a career, we'd love to hear from you.
