Music teachers wanted in Edinburgh

Morningside School of Music is expanding its community of freelance teachers following a considerable increase in lesson enquiries for the new term.

Established in 1999, our school now brings together more than 50 qualified music professionals. We would be delighted to hear from music graduates with proven teaching experience across any instrument or voice.

What we offer

• Competitive professional teaching fees

• A strong stream of pupil enquiries

• Fully equipped teaching rooms in Morningside

• Administrative and scheduling support

• Flexible availability around your existing commitments

Most teachers choose to offer one or two regular teaching days each week. You tell us when you are available and remain free to teach privately or work with other organisations.

Our pupils include children and adults, from complete beginners to advanced musicians. Lessons cover classical, pop, jazz, blues, country and rock, alongside ABRSM, RSL Rockschool and Trinity College London pathways.

We are looking for teachers who have a recognised degree in music, proven teaching experience and excellent professional references. You should bring warmth, enthusiasm and reliability to your teaching.

All opportunities are offered on a self employed, freelance basis. Once you accept a regular pupil, we ask that you approach the commitment with care and consistency.

Appropriate PVG Scheme membership and disclosure will be required before teaching begins. We will arrange the application and cover the cost in full.

We welcome applications from suitably qualified teachers of every background. Reasonable adjustments are available throughout the application process.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 😭😭😭

In a statement confirming her death, the singer's team says she will be remembered as an "inspiration" and for her "wit, warmth, and kindness".

Congratulations to Ashwin Devraj, who has passed two significant examinations this term, both with Distinction.

Ashwin achieved a Distinction in his Rockschool Grade 3 Electric Guitar examination, and a Distinction in his ABRSM Grade 3 Music Theory examination. A splendid result on both counts, and one that reflects a great deal of hard work and dedication.

The whole team at Morningside School of Music extends its warmest congratulations. Onward to Grade 4!

We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Glen Hansard, one of Ireland’s most gifted songwriters and musicians.

From his work with The Frames to the Academy Award winning “Falling Slowly”, Glen’s music reached people across the world with rare honesty, warmth and humanity. His contribution to Irish music and culture was immense.

Everyone at Morningside School of Music sends their deepest condolences to Glen’s family, friends, fellow musicians and the many people whose lives he touched through his music.

A remarkable artist, gone far too soon. 😭

Hansard, who was 56, won the best song Oscar for the 2007 low-budget musical film Once.
