Vacant job

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

As a music teacher with us, you will 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 expression.

The position also involves being connected to a class as a co-class teacher, meaning that you will follow the students' development together with the class teacher and be an important adult in the students' daily lives.

We work based on the holistic view of Waldorf pedagogy, where teaching engages thought, feeling, and will. Music education is rooted in practical and experiential learning through singing, rhythm, movement, and collective music-making, gradually developing into a deeper musical understanding.
