Online Bassoon Professor — Per-Lesson Faculty (Remote, Worldwide)

Reed-making at midnight, the opening of the Rite at dawn — bassoonists are a tribe, and the tribe needs teachers. YOUR STUDIO Teach reed-making and adjustment as a core discipline, tone and vibrato development, the solo literature (Mozart, Weber, Vivaldi), the excerpt list (Rite, Tchaikovsky 4, Ravel, Sheherazade), and contrabassoon doubling. WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO — Teach live, one-on-one lessons to students TGC's admissions team matches to you — by level, repertoire, goals, and time zone — Shape each student's pathway: repertoire plans, technique architecture, performance milestones, online recitals — Optionally: sit Mock Audition Lab panels, give public masterclasses, teach certificate cohorts, and coach the auditioned Global Youth Orchestra — each compensated separately — Never: chase payments, schedule logistics, or market yourself. TGC handles billing, scheduling, safeguarding, and student matching HOW THE WORK WORKS This is per-lesson faculty work. You are paid for every lesson you teach — no salary, no minimum hours, no exclusivity. You keep your performing career, your existing students, and your city. Take two students or twenty; grow or shrink your studio as your season allows. You teach from wherever you live, in the hours you choose, and students come to you. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR Internationally accomplished bassoon artists and pedagogues: orchestra and opera professionals, conservatory faculty, competition laureates, and master teachers with a record of student growth. Online-teaching experience is welcome but never required — every TGC faculty member receives full platform onboarding, equipment guidance, and an online-pedagogy workshop. WHY TGC The Global Conservatory is a live online conservatory: 75 internationally accomplished faculty across 14 countries and every time zone, 55+ certificate programmes, 8 divisions, and students from early-childhood beginners to pre-professional artists. Every lesson is live and one-on-one — no pre-recorded courses, no AI substitutes for the teacher–student relationship. Faculty are selected for pedagogy as much as performance.
