• Versatile & Confident Music Educators — teach music theory in engaging, age-appropriate group classes; confident private instrument instruction (piano required; guitar preferred; drums, violin, ukulele, and other instruments are a bonus); comfortable with vocal instruction if qualified; passion for building musical foundations and sparking creativity; flexible to studio needs.
• Reliable, Professional, & Organized Leaders — punctual, fully prepared for every class; strong classroom management for groups of 1–15; maintain professionalism and positive energy; follow studio curriculum and standards; take responsibility for engaging lessons and student progress.
• Growth-Oriented Mentors — nurture developing musicians, track progress, help students set goals; openness to expanding the program (e.g., choir or multi-instrument workshops); leadership opportunities as the program grows; participation in performances and studio events.

What You’ll Be Doing

Group Music Theory Instruction

• Prepare and lead engaging, structured music theory classes for ages 3–5, 6–8, 9–12, and teens as needed.
• Teach rhythmic understanding, notation, musicality, listening skills, and foundational musicianship.
• Use creative methods to make theory accessible and fun.

Private Lessons & Instrument Instruction

• Provide one‑to‑one lessons for beginner-level musicians in piano, guitar, or other instruments you teach.
• Support technique, confidence, practice habits, and overall growth; prepare students for progress evaluations and seasonal performances.

Vocal Instruction (if applicable)

• Teach beginner vocal technique, breathing, pitch, tone, confidence, and performance skills.
• Potential to lead group vocal classes or a children’s choir as the program expands.

Student & Family Engagement

• Build supportive relationships with students and families; communicate scheduling, progress, and events; welcome trial students and create positive experiences.

Studio Collaboration & Program Development

• Collaborate with leadership and fellow educators to build a cohesive arts environment; help shape curriculum, class structure, and student pathways; assist with studio events, shows, and marketing content; maintain a clean, organized music space.

Compensation & Growth Opportunities

Base Pay: $20/hour

Estimated Hours Per Week: 4–10
