Details

You will work in connection with the Director to choose a musical that best fits your students.
January-June: Rehearsal Term
Hours 1.5 -2/hours a week between 5-8pm to be discussed with successful applicant.
During the rehearsal term hours increase to provide more time working with students as they prepare their show.
Please read the following description carefully. If this sounds like you send your resume to stefanie@thestagenewwest.ca.
- Must have some experience in music direction. You do not need to have years and years worth, but you should be aware of the demands and prepared to put in any amount of time outside of the class hours that will ensure you and your students share a successful production.

This could also mean providing additional rehearsals for your students at mutually convenient times for staff and students.
- Interested in becoming part of our faculty family (we’re a bit nutty but a lot of fun) and have a willingness to participate in studio and community events where we provide face painting, craft tables or photo booths to promote our classes and fulfill our community service mandate.
