Windsor

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational musician as Eton Colleges next Head of Brass. Please take a look at this shortvideofor a snapshot of the rich variety of music on offer here. The Head of Brass will oversee all teaching and ensembles relating to brass and will have line management responsibility for 9 Visiting Music Teachers. Reporting to the Deputy Director of Music, the holder of this post will work alongside other Heads of Section to ensure the smooth running of the departments co-curricular provision. Please note that this is a part time position. Whilst there is currently no one-to-one brass teaching as part of this position, it is expected that the Head of Brass will further expand the number of brass players in the school and go on to include instrumental teaching as part of their role (though this will depend on their instrumental specialism). If the role were to include teaching in the future, the salary for the role would be uplifted accordingly. Music at Eton There are seven full-time music teachers at Eton, led by the Precentor & Director of Music. Instrumental and vocal tuition is provided by a team of seventy-eight Visiting Music Teachers reporting to Heads of Section for Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Piano, Singing, Percussion, Organ, Guitar, Commercial Music, Music Technology and Jazz. The department also includes a Studio Technician, Music Resources Manager and a six-strong administrative team. Over half the boys in the school take individual music lessons with around 1300 lessons and 55 ensemble rehearsals taking place each week. There are currently six pupils in the National Youth Orchestra. Last years leavers included the BBC Young Composer of the Year as well as the winner of BBC Young Musician 2024. Ensembles involving brass players include two symphony orchestras, two concert bands, four jazz ensembles and a reggae/ska band. Brass ensembles are also formed for specific performances at different points in the year. The Symphony Orchestra undertakes three main orchestral concerts a year, with recent repertoire including Shostakovichs Symphony No.5, Stravinskys Firebird Suite and Brittens Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra. The orchestra embarks on international tours every three years and has performed at major European venues such as the Rudolfinum in Prague, the Kursaal in San Sebastian and, most recently, Radio Hall, Bucharest. The Senior Big Band also undertakes regular performances outside Eton, most recently at Ronnie Scotts and Pizza Express, Dean Street. The Music Department incorporates a recording studio and editing suite, music technology teaching rooms, two large rehearsal/concert halls, organ room and numerous practice and teaching rooms for both instrumental and academic teaching. Beyond the department buildings, the College Chapel, Lower Chapel and School Hall are used for services and concerts. The School Hall recently underwent a major renovation, which has seen the space converted into a first-rate concert hall with hydraulic stage and adjustable acoustics. There are Steinway or Fazioli grand pianos in all of the major performance spaces, as well as eight pipe organs. We are an equal opportunities employer and are seeking applications from suitably qualified candidates from all backgrounds.
