Are you ready to inspire the next generation of music artists? We are searching for community practitioners who are brimming with passion, bursting with charisma and full of musical knowledge. You might not have taught in schools or youth settings before - that doesn't matter! We are looking for natural leaders who can capture the attention and imagination of young people.

At IYA, creativity is at the centre of our work. We equip young people with the tools and confidence to create brilliant art. Our artists harness their professional experience to develop young people's ideas into something they are truly proud of.

We are looking for approachable, reliable and enthusiastic music artists who can connect with young people and empower them to explore, experiment and of course, have fun.

IYA delivers term-time sessions, bespoke school holiday projects, and unique experiences in music, dance, and digital art with 9-25 year olds. Our music programme empowers young people to develop musical skills, knowledge and confidence in song writing, production and performance.

We work across Nottinghamshire, so are looking for people who can work in various locations. You might be willing to travel County-wide, or you may prefer to work or you may prefer to work in a particular area.

We are looking for music artists with experience in: Song writing and composition, Music production, Sound design, Sound installations, Recording, Mixing & mastering and Performing.
Maybe you have experience as an instrumental teacher - but also skills in mixing and mastering, we'd love to hear from you.

If you are shortlisted to join our pool of Freelance Artists, you will be given a contract of one session, 1.5 hour in length (£75). Freelancers within our pool work for us, on average, for at least 1.5 hours per week during the academic year.
