There will potentially be 14 pupils requiring 35-minute 1:1 lessons, with scope to increase pupil numbers. There may also be opportunities for ensemble coaching. Applications are invited from enthusiastic, experienced brass teachers willing to teach from beginner to advanced levels on a self-employed basis.
