[Trombone-l] Yucatan (mexico) Orchestra- bass trombone spot available

[Jackie Harris-Stone]

I received this from the orchestra in Yucatan- the full contact and job details are listed on musicalchairs.info, but here is some unlisted information:
 
A translation of the important details (and Phil Brink can correct me if I've missed anything!) is that it is 12000 pesos a month, (a bit more than $1000 USD) which should allow you to live like a king/queen if you're single, and would be doable if you need to support two people, though how tight it would be, I don't know.  Living expenses are way cheaper than the U.S. or my neck of the woods-  a 3 bedroom apartment rents for less than 2000 pesos a month.  You would also teach trombone )probably beginner level) 4-6 hours a week, depending if you did one or two chamber music concerts a year.  6 service week (t-f rehearsal; friday/sunday concerts)
  
  Details I didn't ask are health insurance and time off.  Generally, you get these.  I think the salary is post- tax, but it's worth checking.  (my taxes are low, but not all Mexican orchestras have the same system)
  A great opportunity for someone who would like an orchestra job and a small bit of  teaching, and I have to say, Mexico is a great place to live.  (You'd probably do okay without Spanish skills- the ad's in English)
