Experienced in commissioning and product development, you will have knowledge of a broad spectrum of music genres, an understanding of the music education environment, and passion for the benefits of music learning and progression.
In return for your commitment, we can offer you an opportunity to widen your experience in educational music publishing within the world’s leading music exam board.
