Lyric Scene Position in Canary Islands 2026: Open Call for Music and Performing Arts Teachers

Key data

One Lyric Scene position in the Music and Performing Arts Bodies of the Canary Islands is incorporated into the exceptional stabilization process through merit-based competition linked to the Public Employment Offer of 2023. The Resolution of August 21, 2026 from the General Directorate of Personnel modifies the 2024 stabilization call to include this specialty, which was not included in the original call.

The key for temporary teachers is clear: the system is pure merit-based competition, without exam or opposition. This means that whoever accumulates more accredited merits—years of service, training, teaching experience—has a direct advantage. With only one position at stake, competition between candidates can be very tight.

What does this regulation establish?

The Ministry of Education of the Canary Islands modifies its 2024 stabilization call to incorporate one position in the Lyric Scene specialty. This modification is part of the exceptional stabilization procedure regulated by the regulations on reducing temporary employment in the public sector.

The key aspects of the call are as follows:

A relevant fact for applicants: call updates will not necessarily be published in the BOE, but on the Canary Islands Ministry website. It is essential to monitor that source directly to avoid missing communications about the process.

Economic and operational impact

For a temporary teacher, stabilization means moving from a temporary situation—with the uncertainty it entails—to a permanent civil service position. The economic implications are direct:

• Long-term salary security: a civil service position guarantees continuity of compensation against annual renewal of temporary contracts.
• Progression in professional career: entry into the body of Professors or Teachers of Music and Performing Arts opens the door to seniority bonuses, research bonuses and teaching career supplements.
• No cost for opposition preparation: since it is pure merit-based competition, there is no need to invest in academies or tutors. The investment is in time to gather and document merits.

From an operational perspective, process management falls entirely on the applicant: gathering documentation, accrediting merits and submitting the application within the deadline. A documentation error or submission outside the deadline can result in exclusion from the process, given that there is only one position at stake.

Who does it affect?

• Temporary teachers in the Lyric Scene specialty in the Canary Islands who are or have been providing services in public centers for Music and Performing Arts education.
• Applicants who meet the requirements for access to the Body of Professors of Music and Performing Arts or the Body of Teachers of Music and Performing Arts, depending on the body they apply for.
• Professionals with a long track record as temporary teachers in this specialty, who benefit most from the merit-based competition system compared to traditional opposition.
• Artistic education centers in the Canary Islands that teach the Lyric Scene specialty, which will see this position filled permanently if the process concludes successfully.

Practical example

Imagine a temporary teacher who has been teaching Lyric Scene for several years in a public conservatory in the Canary Islands. Until now, their employment situation was renewed course by course, with no guarantee of continuity.

With this call, that teacher can submit their application between August 20 and September 17, 2026. They do not have to prepare or pass any exam: the process will evaluate exclusively their accredited merits—teaching experience, training, publications, professional artistic activity, among others, according to the call's scoring criteria—.

If selected, they will enter the Body of Teachers of Music and Performing Arts (or the Professors body, if they meet the requirements for that body) with a position in the Canary Islands, moving from temporary to career civil servant. Since there is only 1 position, exhaustive and orderly accreditation of all available merits is decisive for the outcome.

A common mistake in these processes: failing to document merits that you have but do not justify correctly. With only one position at stake, each point on the scoring scale can be decisive.

What should teachers do now?

1. Verify the access requirements for the Body of Professors or the Body of Teachers of Music and Performing Arts, depending on the level you aspire to, before starting the application.
2. Gather and organize all available merit documentation: years of service as a temporary teacher, qualifications, complementary training, artistic activity and any other merit contemplated in the call's scoring criteria.
3. Submit the application within the deadline: from August 20 to September 17, 2026. There is no extension provided and failure to meet the deadline results in automatic exclusion.
4. Periodically check the website of the Ministry of Education of the Canary Islands to follow process updates, as these will not necessarily be published in the BOE.
5. Review the original 2024 call that this resolution modifies, to understand the complete framework of the procedure and the applicable merit evaluation criteria.
