In another exciting and forward-looking expansion of our provision, we have recently announced our intention to offer a new vocational pathway (RSL Diploma in Creative Music Industry) for students in the sixth form. It is within this context and to reflect the increasing need and demand for commercial and jazz classes in our timetable, that we are now looking to appoint a music teacher with a specialism in these areas. The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of music history, analysis, composition and general musicianship programmes, largely in relation to this specialism. The Academic Music Department offers a unique programme of study, which forms an important part of every Purcell student's specialist musical education. Analysis and aural awareness are at the heart of everything we do and high-level training in these areas is a core component of the School's curriculum for every student. Purcell students achieve exceptional grades in Music and nearly all go on to study the subject at either conservatoire or university. In Years 7 to 9, students study a series of topics, which form the basis of creative and analytical projects, designed to expand their general musical knowledge and inform their practical instrumental studies. In year 10, students follow the AQA GCSE music syllabus and in Year 11, they prepare for Sixth Form study through an in-depth study of larger scale works. In the Sixth Form, students work towards the OCR A Level in Music and have lessons in analysis, music history, harmony and composition. Students who intend to apply to university to read Music are prepared for entrance examinations and interviews. Each year, a number of students go on to read Music at university, with recent school leavers taking up places at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and SOAS. At each stage of the School, we offer tailored pathways for students on classical performance, composition, jazz and commercial music programmes as part of our extensive musicianship provision. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will work closely with our first study commercial and jazz musicians in this context, whilst also taking on a varied timetable of Key Stage 3, GCSE Music, A Level Music and Diploma classes. Depending on expertise, experience and qualifications, there may also be opportunities to contribute to the delivery of performance classes and/or our music technology programmes.
