Build Confidence. Lead Growth. Teach Music That Matters.

Minnesota School of Music is hiring professional music instructors who want more than a teaching gig — they want to be part of a structured, student‑centered faculty.

We are a locally owned, fast‑growing community music school serving Blaine‑area families since 2013. Our instructors mentor students, prepare them for the stage, and contribute to a culture focused on long‑term development.

That means:

• No chasing payments
• No scheduling logistics
• No marketing responsibilities
• No room rentals

You teach. We handle the rest.

Our full‑time front office manages scheduling, billing, enrollment, parent communication, and recital production — allowing instructors to stay focused on teaching and student outcomes.
