Principal Responsibilities:About the JCC Thurnauer School of Music:

Thurnauer is dedicated to high-quality music education for students of all ages and skill levels. Please visit www.jccotp.org/thurnauer for more information.
Position Summary:
The Thurnauer School of Music is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced teacher to join our Creative Musicianship faculty. Thurnauer offers many levels of creative musicianship for students ages 6-18, with a typical class size of 4-5 students. Classes are offered on Sunday between 10:00am-4:30pm and Monday-Thursday between 4:00-8:00pm, from late September 2024 through June 2025, for a total of 30 weeks. Each class is 45-55 minutes, once a week. Depending on the candidate's background, there may be additional opportunities to teach private lessons or other offerings within the music school.

Creative Musicianship classes bring together elements of music theory, ear training, and composition in order to further young musicians' understanding of the language of music. Taken alongside instrumental lessons, these classes are designed to develop the whole musician, building skills that both complement instrumental performance and deepen the student's awareness of how music is put together. Skills such as hearing the sounds of written music before they are played (sight-singing), translating heard sounds into notation (ear-training), and making creative decisions on how to choose and combine sounds (composition) all build a complete musical fluency.
New faculty will receive training in Thurnauer's Creative Musicianship curriculum, which is based on the Walden School's Musicianship method and incorporates pedagogy from the Kod?ly and Dalcroze methods.
