Reporting to the Programs Officer and working closely with a team of educators, the Education Program Leader will assist in development, delivery and facilitation of curriculum-based education programs to school-age visitors at Cantos. Education Program leaders may also be responsible for the delivery of interactive gallery tours for seniors and other groups. Cantos’ Education programs meet set objectives outlined by the Alberta Learning Program of Studies and are innovative and hands-on opportunities for students ages 6-16 to foster a love and understanding for music in their own lives.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, self-motivated, passionate about music and love engaging with children. They must have experience working with groups of children in a leadership role and must be able to play piano at an intermediate level. Priority will be given to those who have completed or are enrolled in a post-secondary Education program, especially those with a Music and/or Museum Studies emphasis, those who have strong musical ability and/or who are bilingual. Successful candidates will be able to communicate effectively through storytelling and by engaging visitors in discussion; will have strong organizational skills and the ability to work under general direction and in a team environment. The ability to think quickly in public and be receptive to our audiences and their needs is paramount.
