Chicago high school seeks chamber music coaches for retreat, Oct. 9-11

Whitney M. Young Magnet High School in Chicago seeks chamber music coaches.

Each year, in October, the students in a top-level Chamber Orchestra participate in a leadership, team building and chamber music retreat.

We seek students in your music education or performance programs who would be interested in working with my students as chamber music coaches and sectional instructors during the retreat.

The gig does pay $150, and all housing and food is covered… and, of course, I’d be more than happy to provide letters of reference for your students as they move on into their professional careers. In addition, in the case that travel to Chicago is an impediment to anyone’s participation, I’ll cover round trip Van Galder Coach bus tickets to and from Chicago.

This year, the trip is October 9 – 11, returning late-morning on Saturday.

In the past, this arrangement has been very beneficial for both parties: my students get the expertise and musicianship of the college students, and the college students get several hours of actual contact time teaching.
