New violin teachers will join the school’s strategic plan to have 320 students by 2024 (the school has capacity for 850 students). Current violin teachers include Lu Siqing, Wang Hong, Vicki Hsu, and He Shucong.

Successful candidates will be provided  accommodation on campus, meals, international medical insurance; paid summer and winter vacation; annual round-trip international flights, plus work-permits and visas organized by YMSQ.

Teachers will deliver one-to-one lessons at a high standard to prepare students for concerts, competitions, exams, and auditions for international colleges and conservatories.

The minimum requirement is a master's degree and two years of teaching experience. Notable performance experience as a soloist, in chamber music, or with a professional orchestra is also expected.
