Our friends at the ARK Schools Network are seeking an enthusiastic new member of their Young Music Mentor programme. They are on the lookout for a new female vocalist to work with the alto section of the SPARK Choir, a vocal ensemble consisting of talented young singers from ARK and the wider community.
Young Music Mentors
Our YMMs are school and university-aged musicians looking to pursue a career as performers and educators, as well as recent graduates at the beginning of professional life. We guide the YMMs and they, in turn, help guide the young people in our schools:
1. With us they build experience, knowledge and skills in instrumental and vocal leadership, as well as event organisation and music administration/management. We guide them through as follows:
- – Paid opportunities to support our network-wide ‘Inspiring Excellence’ choir (called SPARK) and the choirs in each school. Last year, the YMM team provided invaluable support for residential trips and our Music Gala at the Barbican.
- – Network-wide training in vocal leadership.
- – Bespoke guidance – we work closely with each YMM to find the right opportunities for them to gain leadership experience and expand their skill-set.
- – Time to work with, and learn from, ARK Artists in Residence.
- – Signposting to work and training beyond the ARK network.
2. Using all that they learn and develop, the YMMs act as role-models for the young singers at ARK Schools.
The successful candidate would need to commit to a number of Saturday rehearsals throughout the year, the SPARK Choir residential, and two performance events. There will also be opportunities to attend trainings and workshops.
