Company Description
Ravinia is both North America's longest-running music festival and its most artistically diverse. Over 100 different events by a mix of classical, rock, pop, jazz, R&B, indie, and country performers make up a typical summer season on our two open-air and two indoor stages. Each year the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is featured in six weeks of concerts, many with Chief Conductor Marin Alsop. During the same summer months, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute provides young professional classical and jazz musicians with career-advancing training and concert settings. Offstage and year-round, Ravinia's Reach Teach Play education programs engage 75,000 children and adults—in schools with little to no music curriculum, in our Chicagoland communities, and at our 36-acre park—in our mission to make music equitably accessible to all.
Job Description
This role is a part-time, hourly instructional employee position that averages 6-8 hours per week. Sistema Ravinia programming runs throughout the school year and 2-4 weeks during the summer.
The percussion instructor will teach students in small groups (percussion studio) and assist with large groups (in wind/brass/percussion sectionals) of elementary and middle school students participating in the Sistema Ravinia Austin nucleo. Located at Catalyst Circle Rock and George Rogers Clark Elementary School in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, the children in our program receive little to no music instruction outside of Sistema Ravinia. Therefore, the administrators, conductor, and sectional instructors are responsible for providing a comprehensive music education program for our students. Sistema Ravinia uses a collaborative leadership approach that solicits input from instructors, students, artistic, and administrative leadership. The percussion instructor reports to the Site Manager and will be part of a team of instructors that will inspire all participating students and be responsible for maintaining a standard of excellence for Sistema Ravinia. The ideal candidate will be an extraordinary teacher, artist, mentor, and model for Sistema Ravinia students.
