• Assisting with three community events per year (recitals, jam sessions, faculty concerts).
• Communicating and interacting with parents, fellow teaching faculty, and administrative staff.
• Tracking student attendance and maintaining detailed teaching notes.
• Signing students up for and preparing them for group and individual performances.
• Creating and/or following lesson plans and teaching guides.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in music education or performance is preferred.
• At least 1 year of teaching experience. Group teaching experience a plus.
• Performance experience in both an individual and ensemble setting.
• Excellent communication skills (writing, speaking and listening).
• Organized, detail-oriented and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficient using technology including but not limited to computers, mobile devices, internet browsers, and various online applications.
• Appreciation for punctuality, reliable transportation, and the ability to pass a routine background check.

This posting is for Music House School of Music, our Prairie Village, KS location. Music House teachers are members of a team of over 25 teachers and 10 administrators who work collectively toward the development of a strong organization. With three locations and around 700 weekly students, this approach has served us well. However, our team-focused communal environment can seem very different for anyone with prior experience independently teaching private lessons. Music House is a place of growth, collaboration, and constant change.
