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

The second conductor sits at the back. Teach players to lead from the drums. YOUR STUDIO Teach stroke and sound production, tuning and pedaling under fire, the excerpt canon (Beethoven 9, Brahms 1, Shostakovich 5), solo literature, mallet selection, and the ensemble-leadership craft of the timpanist's chair. 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 timpani 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. APPLYING — AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT Apply on Cadenza with your CV, video links, and references — the form takes about 20 minutes and every question exists for a reason. Applications are read by faculty in your division; there is no algorithmic screen. Decisions arrive within 14 days, and successful candidates are matched with their first students immediately after onboarding.
