Description
Position reports to the Chair of Fine Arts and is responsible for providing instruction in Choral Music and Theater Arts, producing at least one mainstage production each semester, and also providing instruction and mentoring to students in topics determined by instructor interest and expertise as well as student and community needs. This instructor will serve as artistic director of all campus vocal, choral and theatrical endeavors, select and rehearse level-appropriate works for performing groups, and direct groups as part of regular public performances as determined in NCSSM’s Fine Arts Series. The instructor will serve as the primary resource for students pursuing advancement in voice performance as well as theater techniques and performance. The instructor will maintain or establish contacts with community groups and promote collaborative artistic efforts that support or enrich the NCSSM drama program, cooperate and coordinate with other NCSSM Morganton Fine Arts faculty and local arts organizations, and support the overall drama curriculum by teaching assigned courses and developing curriculum for course offerings.

Strong piano and singing skills preferred. Strong working knowledge of music theory and harmony, piano or choral pedagogy, theater pedagogy, and well-developed skills in ensemble building and rehearsal strategy. Strong background and experience in theater and theater education: directing, producing, and coaching.

Applicants should be dedicated to continual growth as teachers, performers, and learners. Since all NCSSM faculty and staff are expected to support the intellectual, cultural, emotional, and social growth of students — responsibilities that transcend a traditional high school or college teaching schedule — applicants should bring to the work a keen commitment to participating actively in the multi-dimensional life of the NCSSM community.
