Job Description
We are searching for teachers who are able to teach. We don’t need rock stars. We need personable teachers who can build a rapport quickly both with students and parents. We are looking for mentors; teachers who can guide students and help them grow through their journey as musicians from beginning artists to advanced artists.
- Physically: this means learning to hold the instrument, move their limbs correctly to make notes and to move in time with the instrument.
- Creatively: This is just as important as learning to physically play. Physically being able to noodle around and make sounds that sound good to the student. Reinforcing a positive creative environment is important for students to growth both mentally and musically.
- Theoretically: The job of the teacher is to both teach a student how to play and to allow them to create. The 3rd aspect of teaching is to help student understand what they are playing, creating and hearing in music. Structures in music can vary drastically. Helping students understand the music they are learning, creating and listening to helps to make a fully rounded musician.
- The light bulb effect: We want students to constantly be turned on and continue to have the “ah ha” moment with music.
Please provide any and ALL information regarding instruments you play and teach in either your cover letter or resume.
We are looking to start scheduling our new hire Mondays - Thursdays 3:00 - 6:30pm. More hours are available; but applicants MUST be able to teach between Mon-Thurs 3:00 - 6:30pm
