school_heading
P.p.j Saraswati Vihar nestles in the quiet foothills of Nainital where teachers gather daily to plan lessons that blend local folk tunes with structured curriculum goals. The team shares a habit of starting mornings with a short collective chant in Hindi and Sanskrit to set the tone for the day. Many teachers walk or cycle from nearby areas, arriving with fresh ideas from the morning markets and the buzz of the town.
Job Overview
A Music Teacher Job in Nainital at P.p.j Saraswati Vihar means designing vocal and instrumental lessons for grades six to ten that respect Garhwali and Kumaoni traditions while meeting CBSE benchmarks. You will lead assemblies, prepare students for inter-school cultural fests, and mentor a small group of music enthusiasts after regular hours. The role sits within a close-knit department that values practical musicianship over paperwork.
What You Will Do
Plan weekly Music periods for three sections each, ensuring every child gets at least twenty minutes of hands-on practice with tabla, harmonium, or voice.
Write lesson plans that move from basic swara recognition to simple Raag-based compositions within one academic year.
Organise quarterly music nights where students perform solo and group items for parents and teachers.
Conduct periodic assessments using both written tests on music theory and practical exams on instruments.
Prepare two students each year for district-level competitions under the Uttarakhand Sangeet Natak Akademi.
Collaborate with art and dance teachers to create cross-disciplinary projects like storytelling through song.
Attend department meetings every fortnight to align repertoire choices with upcoming school events.
Keep the music room stocked with working instruments and sheet music, reporting shortages to the administrative team.
Required Qualifications
Postgraduate degree in Music with at least two years of classroom teaching experience in middle or secondary school.
B.Ed or M.Ed preferred; candidates with D.El.Ed and strong performance in state or national-level music examinations will also be considered.
Familiarity with Hindustani classical notation and basic western staff notation is essential.
Ability to sing with clear sur and taal and to play harmonium or tabla at an intermediate level.
School Environment
P.p.j Saraswati Vihar runs a full-day schedule with music classes scheduled before lunch to allow students to practice undisturbed in the afternoons. Parents often linger after school meetings to discuss their child’s progress in music, so clear communication in Hindi and English is helpful. The staff room hosts a small music corner where teachers swap cassette tapes and YouTube links of local artists to inspire lesson ideas.
Salary and Benefits
Music Teacher Vacancy in Nainital offers a fixed monthly salary between Rs.30,000 and Rs.40,000 depending on experience and qualifications.
In addition to salary, the school provides a yearly book grant for music literature and access to the annual staff picnic in Ranikhet.
