Hunter College High School is looking for a music teacher for a part-time position to teach our 7th and 9th grade students for the 2023-2024 school year; the position is year-to-year.

Hunter College High School is a 7th– 12th grade program governed by the City University of New York, not the New York City Department of Education, and serve gifted students from all 5 boroughs. We offer a classroom music curriculum which blends theory, history, and composition, in addition to our performance ensembles which work with students of all grade levels. An ideal candidate would have their New York State certification, a Master’s degree, and would be comfortable teaching in the classroom and leading students in a performance / jazz ensemble. Experience with creating and adapting lesson plans is preferred.

7th grade primarily focuses on musical concepts including rhythm, melody, harmony, tempo, dynamics, form, properties of sound, acoustics, and the study of instruments in the orchestra. Students investigate examples from the Romantic period through the present.

9th grade draws upon examples from the Baroque and Classical periods as well as Jazz to explore concepts of form, texture, and simple tonal harmony; this includes the study of symphony, concerto, sonata, the Mass, oratorio, cantata, and opera. Students continue to work on perceiving monophonic, polyphonic, and homophonic textures and learn the basic principles of counterpoint.

Responsibilities would include:

• Teaching course content to gifted 7th and 9th graders in a challenging, yet age-appropriate, manner
• Guiding students through listening experiences and projects which relate to the music theory and history discussed in class
• Assessing student knowledge based on class discussions and evaluating student work – both in-process feedback and final evaluation
• Working collaboratively with other members of the department
• Maintaining high standards of performance in ensemble work, managing instruments and equipment, and arranging appropriate selections
