means 2 million people enjoy top – notch gigs, concerts and classes in our own venue at Gateshead Quays, out in communities across
the North East and through live- streamed performances and digital lessons.

Are you self-motivated, happy working in a team environment and flexible enough to adapt to a changing environment? If this sounds
like you, read on to see how you can hit the ground running.
About the role
Flute (Woodwind) Tutor, In Harmony will lead music learning activities to children and young people aged 4-11 in small group
settings and to lead a mixed instrumental (wind) ensemble and use a wide range of music teaching approaches to support young
people to progress musically, personally and socially.
Make Music is the name for all of The Glasshouse’s music making classes, groups, ensembles, and activities for schools and music
educators. People of all ages, experience levels and backgrounds sing, play, and create with us. Whether starting from scratch or
polishing some skills there’s a class, choir, band, or studio to suit everyone.
Make Music: Adults and Families fun, informal classes, and groups suitable for people of all abilities – including those who like
a bit of a challenge. Daytime and evening classes to enjoy at The Glasshouse or online at home.
Make Music: Young People supports any young person aged 4 to 25 find their voice, learn a musical instrument, write, and produce
