Choral Music Instructor
Posted: Apr. 9, 2025
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
The Ellis School is seeking a part-time Choral Music instructor beginning in August, 2025. Responsibilities include directing two Middle School choirs and the Upper School Glee Club, teaching music electives in both divisions, and fulfilling direction and production tasks in the theatre. There is a significant after-school component, but the part-time nature of the position allows for flexibility in hours during the school day. Other duties, including—but not limited to—proctoring study halls, chaperoning, and committee work are integral to the role of Middle and Upper School faculty members.
A bachelor’s degree is required and a master’s degree is strongly preferred. The ideal candidate will demonstrate skill in choral direction and vocal coaching and will have a minimum of 3-5 years experience leading choral ensembles and directing. An inventive and collaborative approach to the Performing Arts is a must. Ideal candidates will also possess a commitment to using innovative pedagogical practices and technology to enhance instruction. Candidates must also have excellent communication skills, demonstrate a strong belief in all-girls education, and be enthusiastic about working with and teaching adolescents.
Preference will be given to applications submitted before April 15, 2025.
