What teaching roles are available?
Rock and Pop Music Teacher
Become a rock and pop-star role model as you teach children to play music as part of a band. Regularly teaching in the same schools each week, you get to play a meaningful part in each child’s musical journey, from the very first time they pick up an instrument, to their performance at their end-of-term concerts.
Regional Rock and Pop Music Teacher
Our regional rock and pop music teacher roles provide the ultimate variety: you’ll be on the road, travelling to schools to cover lessons when the regular band leader is unavailable. You’ll meet new schools and children and put them instantly at ease as you save the day and give children the musical experience they otherwise would miss.
Brand Representative
Our brand reps visit schools and deliver exciting and energetic Rocksteady assemblies, giving children the chance to see what it’s like to be in a band and experience live music, maybe for the first time ever! This is a school’s first impression of Rocksteady so you'll need to be enthusiastic, positive and able to build instant rapport.
