Job description

Musicologie Austin is looking for Drums teachers — multi-instrumentalists especially encouraged. We are a new studio that opened in November 2025 and we are growing fast!

About You:

You are an expert musician who loves introducing people of all ages to music. You are friendly and warm, a great communicator, and always excited to help your students push through challenges. Drums are your primary instrument — and if you also play guitar, bass, piano, or sing well enough to teach beginners, even better

At Musicologie we value the time and attention you have put into your craft. And we know how important the student-teacher relationship is. So we’ve created an exciting community-focused organization full of musicians and music lovers who are dedicated to delivering simply delightful music lessons to all ages and abilities. We do this through:

• The Musicologie Method, which is rooted in creating a safe environment and education through play
• Our Philosophy of Education that starts with the idea that everyone deserves a great teacher
• Training, shadowing, and clear upward mobility for all of our teachers
• Innovative programs and technology that make teaching and learning exciting
• A collaborative community of teachers excited about music and their job!

Your Role:

As a Musicologie teacher you’ll work with students of all ages and abilities as they identify their goals and progress through curriculum related to those goals. You’ll be a friendly guide on their musical journey and you’ll encourage community involvement through performances and group classes.

In this position you’ll:

• Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to learning our philosophy of education, curriculum and processes.
• Be committed to delivering an outstanding lesson experience to every family and student.
• Collaborate with other Musicologie teachers and managers to elevate everyone’s capabilities.

You’re the right person if you’re:

• An excellent musician.
• Excited to help students of all ages and abilities become passionate, proficient musicians.
• An expert communicator in person and by email.
• Extremely organized.
• Self motivated.
• Curious and inspired to learn new things.
• Are able to work evening and/or weekend hours.

You have:

• A bachelor’s degree in your instrument, or equivalent experience.
• Teaching experience on your instrument.
• Experience working with kids and families

Bonus points if you can also teach:

• Guitar or bass
• Piano
• Voice
• Ukulele

You will get:

• Hourly pay starting in the $30s, commensurate with experience (W-2)
• Access to Musicologie's certification and education process
• Access to free lessons for yourself from other teachers
