Music Teacher Grades 4–9

Lund's Waldorf School is seeking a dedicated and creative music teacher for grades 4 to 9 who wants to contribute to students' musical and personal development in a vibrant and holistic school environment.

As a music teacher with us, you have a central role in the school's artistic and social life. You create teaching where music becomes a living language to develop students' listening, collaboration, creativity, and expressive abilities.

The position also involves being linked to a class as a shared class teacher, meaning you, together with the class teacher, follow the students' development and are an important adult in their daily lives.

We work based on the holistic view of Waldorf pedagogy, where teaching engages thought, feeling, and will. Music teaching takes its starting point in the practical and experience-based through singing, rhythm, movement, and collective music-making, and gradually develops towards a deeper musical understanding.
