Are you a passionate Steel Pan teacher dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage of the steel pan across Birmingham schools?

Services For Education is seeking an enthusiastic music educator to inspire young musicians through the vibrant art of steel pan performance. Born out of Trinidad and Tobago’s rich musical tradition, the steel pan holds a unique place in global music education. We are looking for an educator who can share both the technical skill and the rich history of this extraordinary instrument. Can you bring Caribbean cultural history into the classroom, teaching students about the instrument's origin, the 'engine room' rhythm section, and various musical styles (Calypso, Soca, Pop, and Classical)?

What We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from teachers with experience in any of the following:

  • Small group and 1:1 instrumental tuition
  • Whole-class instrumental teaching (WCIT)
  • Ensemble direction and leading groups
  • working with children with additional needs.

Services For Education uses the power of learning and music to create and build confidence among children, young people, adults, and communities across Birmingham.

Our mission is to bring music and learning to life. We believe that every young person should be able to grow up to be the very best that they can be, regardless of their background.

To this end the charity was formed in 2012 to provide more opportunities for children of all ages and abilities in Birmingham to reach their full potential. Our work has recently expanded to include working with young people, adults and communities.
