Overview
You will be teaching Music at a school where the children are from underprivileged countries and communities.
You will work closely with the children in small groups, as an assistant to the music teacher. You'll also work with the school choir to help them as much as possible with their music - this is where you can make a lot of difference.
The school has a large number of ethnic children who are classed as the underprivileged community in Auckland. There are children from many different communities and countries at the school such as Maori, Somalia, Ethiopia, Tonga and Samoa. These children come from lower socio-economic backgrounds and so your teaching can make a difference.
You will be working as an assistant to the teacher and will have the opportunity to work one-to-one and in small groups with the children to assist them with their music and really give them the attention they need.
Class sizes vary between 20 and 30 children in each class and you will be teaching children between the ages of 4 and 12.
As an assistant music teacher at the school you will be involved in teaching a number of different instruments and groups including: Guitar, Recorder, Instrumental, Keyboards/Piano, Choir, Instrumental group and Ukulele.
