Lattitude is providing a rare opportunity to teach music in Cuenca, the third largest city of Ecuador located in the Ecuadorian Andes. The city's cobblestone streets, towering cathedrals, and marble and whitewashed buildings give it a colonial air unequaled in Ecuador. These distinctions, along with the city's incredibly preserved history, recently earned Cuenca the honor of being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage.

The placement is in the "Conservatorio de Musica", music conservatoire, to teach music to children and young adults. Volunteers assist with the teaching and are allocated their own students. It is also possible to sing in the Conservatoire choir and to audition for a Symphony Orchestra There is also the possibility of teaching dance.

It is an extremely vibrant place, for young people of all backgrounds; a somewhat chaotic but lively atmosphere and Lattitude volunteers have found it both challenging and enjoyable.

Qualities skills required

An ability to speak Spanish is desirable, however if you have no Spanish but are willing to learn, you may also be considered.
