• Lead and organize performances, school concerts, and community events that showcase student talent and growth
• Incorporate technology and diverse musical genres to reflect and respect the cultural richness of our scholar population
• Build a joyful and inclusive classroom culture that supports confidence, collaboration, and creative risk-taking
• Assess and track student progress and musical growth, adjusting instruction to meet individual needs
• Collaborate with fellow educators to integrate music into broader cross-curricular learning experiences
• Maintain classroom instruments and resources while modeling professional conduct and school values

• Ability to play one or more instruments and/or lead vocal instruction
• Familiarity with music tech tools
