Audition requirements

on: August 03, 2004, 08:09:22 AM

Hi guys! I recently applied for a part-time piano teaching job near my workplace, as I am interested to learn and gain more experience in teaching. It's my first time giving an audition and interview, and I am scared silly!!
Experience isn't neccessary, as they will teach you the skills needed to be a proficient teacher. Has anyone been interviewed for a teaching job, and what kinds of questions do they usually ask?? I have a grade 8 ABRSM and working on my teaching diploma.

Well, that already sounds impressive. Just smile, make lots of eye contact, do firm handshakes, write cover letters, you know...the usual stuff employers are impressed by.
