# Musical Theater Teacher

• My Best Music Academy | East Point, GA
• Independent Contractor (1099)
• Part-Time
• Afterschool Sites + Studio
• ## About Us My Best Music Academy (MBMA) has served Metro Atlanta families for 20 years, growing from a single voice studio into a full music education ecosystem — private instruction, group classes, early childhood enrichment, and community programming through our nonprofit arm, My Best Music Project.

Our teaching is rooted in proprietary frameworks including the S.I.N.G. Method™ and Singing Athlete™ methodology, and our students perform in fully produced showcases and musical theater productions each season. We partner with Champions Afterschool All-Stars across 13 schools in DeKalb, Fulton, and Cobb counties, and hold a City of Atlanta recreation center contract serving 18 sites.

• ## The Role We're hiring a Musical Theater Teacher to lead group classes at afterschool and community sites and to provide one-on-one coaching for students preparing for auditions, competitions, and performances.

This is a hybrid role:

part traveling teaching artist, part studio coach. You'll work with young performers who are just discovering the stage as well as advancing students with real audition goals.

• ## What You'll Do
• Afterschool & Community Group Classes
• Deliver engaging musical theater curriculum to groups of elementary and middle school students at partner sites
• Travel to assigned schools and recreation centers fully equipped with materials, music, and props
• Teach the full triple-threat foundation: acting through song, basic staging and blocking, ensemble singing, and age-appropriate movement
• Build toward end-of-session showcases or performance sharings
• Manage classroom behavior and energy independently — no parents or aides in the room
• Track attendance and submit session notes through our student management system
• One-on-One Coaching
• Coach individual students on repertoire selection, song interpretation, monologue work, and audition preparation
• Prepare students for school productions, community theater auditions, competitions, and MBMA showcases
• Build individualized development plans and communicate progress to families
• Teach primarily at our East Point studio (2814 Norman Berry Drive), with some virtual coaching available
• Productions & Showcases
• Support seasonal MBMA productions and showcases through rehearsal coaching, staging assistance, and performance-day support
• Collaborate with our voice, dance, and music theory faculty on cross-disciplinary programming
• ## What We're Looking For
• Required
• 2+ years teaching musical theater, drama, or performing arts to children and youth (ages 5-18)
• Strong vocal foundation — able to teach healthy singing technique and part-singing within an ensemble
• Working knowledge of musical theater repertoire across eras and age ranges
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel to sites across Metro Atlanta
• Ability to pass a background check (required for all school and municipal sites)
• Professional, warm, and dependable communication with students, families, and site staff
• Preferred
• Degree or conservatory training in Musical Theater, Theater, Vocal Performance, or Music Education
• Professional or regional performance credits
• Experience directing or music directing youth productions
• Piano proficiency sufficient to accompany warm-ups and simple rehearsal work
• Choreography or movement direction experience
• Familiarity with audition prep for competitive programs, arts magnet schools, or conservatories
• ## Schedule Afterschool classes run weekday afternoons, typically between 2:30 and 6:00 PM. One-on-one coaching is scheduled by availability, including weekday evenings and Saturdays. We'll build a schedule around your availability — this role can scale from a few sessions per week to a full teaching load depending on fit and interest.
• ## Compensation Competitive per-session rate, paid as an independent contractor (1099).

Rate is based on experience, session length, and program type. Travel-based site work is compensated at a higher rate than studio-based sessions. My Best Music Academy is an equal opportunity workplace. We welcome teaching artists of all backgrounds.
