Job description

Now Hiring: Private and Group Lesson Instructor for all ages at Monroeville Music

Monroeville Music is a welcoming, community-centered music studio located right on Old William Penn Highway in Monroeville, PA. We are passionate about helping students of all ages discover confidence, creativity, and joy through music.

Our programs meet families where they are—from the very beginning of their musical journey through advanced study:

• Private lessons on a wide range of instruments
• Music Together® Babies, Mixed Ages, and Rhythm Kids® classes (birth–age 8)

Our teaching environment is warm, supportive, flexible, and relational. We believe that music is learned best through connection, encouragement, curiosity, and play—not pressure.

Teachers who thrive here are those who love nurturing growth, value collaboration, and enjoy making music with their students—not just for them.

If you’re excited to teach in a friendly, community-focused studio where your passion is valued and your students are celebrated, we’d love to meet you.

Why Teach at Monroeville Music?

Earn More in Less Time:

Our teaching roles are built for both flexibility and stability. Working just 2-4 evenings or weekend days/week gives you plenty of time left to gig, create, or simply recharge. Our teachers earn consistent income doing work that’s creative, meaningful, and far more fulfilling than the average service job.

One Beautiful Location:

Say goodbye to travel teaching! Teach in one inspiring, central studio equipped with top-tier instruments, tech, and a fully stocked coffee and tea bar.

Consistent Students:

No more wondering where your next student is coming from. With our growing studio, high-performing teachers can build a full schedule quickly. You’ll also help convert new students, so you're empowered to grow your own success.

• Free studio use for personal practice in off-peak times
• Free use of all teaching resources & music
• Supportive team & community
• Room to grow into leadership or other roles over time

• Has a degree in music (or is a university music student)
• Has some teaching experience (group &/or private)
• Loves working with all ages
• Sings, plays, and teaches confidently in a range of genres
• Brings a warm, engaging, collaborative energy to lessons
• Views music as a tool for fun, connection, and personal growth
• Wants to be part of a highly professional and inspiring team

Schedule & Commitment

• Availability for at least 2 days/week during peak times (Mon–Thurs 4–8 PM, Fri 4–6:30 PM, Sat 9 AM–1 PM) Extra availability is useful but not required

• Attendance at virtual staff meetings (monthly)
