**Job overview**:
Brighton College Vietnam is seeking an enthusiastic, dedicated, and experienced **Whole School Music Teacher** to join our dynamic Performing Arts department.

**THE DEPARTMENT**

The Performing Arts Department is a dynamic, supportive, and creative team, passionate about fostering a love for music and the arts. We believe in teaching music holistically, where creativity, technique, and expression come together to inspire students. Our approach goes beyond simply learning notes and rhythms; we aim to deepen students' understanding of music theory, performance, and the transformative power of the arts. The department values the role of music in students' lives, encouraging them to develop their individual talents while also learning the collaborative nature of performance.

We are dedicated to inspiring and preparing pupils for future study and careers in both the performing arts, whether that’s in music, theatre, dance, or related fields, or a completely different pathway. We foster a collaborative and inclusive environment, where students feel confident to explore, create, and take artistic risks. Innovative teaching methods, including mastery approaches, are embraced, ensuring that every pupil has the opportunity to develop their skills at their own pace.

The department is exceptionally well-resourced, providing a wealth of tools to support and enhance student learning. Each classroom is equipped with a variety of instruments and resources that support both practical and theoretical lessons. In addition to these, we offer a dedicated music recital room, a state-of-the-art digital music suite, a fully equipped recording studio, and a well-resourced prep music room. In addition to this is a 600-seat theatre and 50-seat cinema. These specialist spaces enable students to explore their musical creativity, experiment with technology, and refine their skills in a professional setting. This diverse and inspiring environment ensures that students not only receive high-quality instruction but also have the opportunity to thrive creatively and academically.
