When do jobs -usually- start popping up? Is it really over summer?
Just looking for some insight/a reality check on when to start getting nervous about landing any positions for August...
My spouse and I are moving across the country so I'm currently looking for orch teaching positions in the new england area and it just feels like theres nothing orchestra related within a 2 hour drive of where he'll be working (allowing us to each have a 1 hour one way commute.. which maybe is picky but it feels reasonable?)
Do positions just open up later there..? Here its usually February-March is hiring season but some are saying hiring season is May-July ??
Its hard to wrap my head around the idea that most schools arent posting until summer? Do I just hold out hope that something will open? Is it really that normal to not have anything until July??
Its not that im only looking for orch only positions I've done orch/choir before but i dont think I can survive teaching band / gen music / just choir..
Just getting anxious and looking for some insight..
