We are currently recruiting a Music Secretary at Westminster School to cover a period of maternity leave.
The Music Secretary is responsible for overseeing the smooth running of the weekly schedule of all ensembles / groups, and the internal organisation of the department’s concerts, working with both staff and pupils to raise the profile of co-curricular music making at the School.
Excellent organisational, communication skills and the ability to work within a team are essential.
This is a time-term only role to assist with the efficient running of the Music Department in and around the Manoukian Music Centre (MMC).
Music plays an integral part of life at Westminster, where pupils are encouraged to learn and participate as fully as possible in a weekly routine of rehearsals, recitals and concerts.
Many internationally renowned musicians have been educated at the school including Adrian Boult, Alexander Shelley, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Clemency Burton-Hill, Dido Armstrong, Gavin Rossdale, George Benjamin, Grace Chatto, Henry Purcell, Ian Bostridge, Julian Anderson, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, Mika Penniman, and Roger Norrington.
Up to twelve Music Scholarships are awarded each year. Academic music standards are extremely high, with a good proportion of music students going on to read music at University or Music College.
