Music teacher sought for Center Classes at Højvangskolen in Horsens

Do you have music in your body? Are you passionate about creating music with children and young people – and would you like to make a difference for students who need a special pedagogical approach? Then it might be you we are looking for!

Center classes at Højvangskolen are seeking a music-friendly and engaged music teacher or musician, who wants to lead our music teaching and help create musical communities for our students.

We offer a temporary position of 15-20 hours per week until the summer holidays. The position is with appointment as soon as possible or no later than December 1, 2026 and until June 30, 2027.

In the Center Classes we have music education at all grade levels for students who are interested in music. We experience that music can do something very special in meeting our students. Music can create joy, motivation, community, immersion and the possibility to succeed in ways other than traditional teaching. This means that in your music teaching you should have attention to the individual child.

You should want to work with both ensemble playing, singing, rhythms, instruments and individual music teaching – and ideally have ideas for how music can be developed further at the school.

We are looking for a music teacher who can combine their musical expertise with a clear and affirming pedagogical approach. You must be able to create teaching where the students experience structure, predictability and clear boundaries, while also leaving room for creativity, curiosity and spontaneity.

We are a school focused on well-being, participation and mastery.

We expect that you

• are passionate about music and about making music together with children and young people
• have solid musical expertise – either as a trained music teacher, musician or through other relevant musical experience
• are keen to teach both students who are experienced and students who are completely new to the world of music
• can create exciting and varied music lessons with e.g. ensemble playing, singing, rhythms and instruments
• can adapt your music teaching to students' different prerequisites and needs
• can create clear and safe frames around the music teaching
• are curious about how music can be used to strengthen students' well-being, participation, community and mastery
• can work relationally and meet students with recognition, clarity and humor
• can reflect on own practice and put your reflections into play
• can work based on pedagogical goals and translate these into pedagogical actions
• can join in a close and binding collaboration with your colleagues
• are flexible and have good collaboration skills.

We would like you to have professional ambitions for music, but also a view that it's not necessarily about creating perfect musical performances. For us, it's largely about creating musical experiences, opportunities to participate and successes for the individual student.

Employment

• Employment as soon as possible or no later than December 1, 2026.
• Remuneration according to the applicable collective agreement.

Application deadline: Sunday, October 18, 2026.
