New London Community Orchestra seeking teachers

Recent visitors to CMW and inspired by the proliferation of El Sistema-inspired after-school activity in the US, the New London (CT) Community Orchestra is now accepting resumes from people interested in teaching after-school string instrument lessons starting in the fall. This is a part-time position. The lessons will be supplemented by volunteers/mentors from the orchestra. Since this is a new program, we will also be seeking input from applicants on course design.

Applicants should have demonstrated ability to teach beginners and elementary school students in all string-instrument skills — and to lead ensembles. Mastery of multiple string instruments is a plus.

Please include a cover letter explaining your reasons for applying. Resumes can be sent via e-mail to newlondonorchestra@gmail.com

For more information Contact Joan Winters 860-691-0849 or Tom Clark 860-608-1780.
