Situated in four schools in north and west Belfast, the project aims to deliver weekly workshops with P1-P3 classes to develop fundamental music skills and progressing to learning orchestral instruments from P4-P7.
The Ulster Orchestra currently recruiting tutors in the following instruments:
Violin/Viola
Double Bass

There will be a range of hours available to suit the needs of the project, from approximately 3 hours to 10 hours a week. You can find further information in the attached person specification.
