High School Strings Teacher (part-time)

St. Vincent Pallotti is a coeducational, college preparatory school of 420 students with a diverse student body, located in the historical district of Laurel, MD. In 2021, Pallotti celebrated its 101st anniversary of providing Catholic education to Laurel and the surrounding regions. As a school, our strengths are our family-like atmosphere and our commitment to providing the widest possible array of curricular and extracurricular programs in a small school environment. We are looking for a knowledgeable and talented part-time Strings teacher to join Pallotti in the music program and our Arts Academy for the 2026-2027 school year. This position is for a skilled musician, preferably with a music education background, who can teach one section of strings and one section of beginning strings (violin, viola, cello and bass) to our students. The beginning strings class typically meets for 44 minutes each morning between 10:00am - 11:00am and the strings class typically meets for 44 minutes between 12:00pm-1:00pm depending on the school's daily schedule. Our current strings group is approximately 10 students of mixed ability levels and we anticipate approximately 4 students in the beginning strings class. There is the possibility of teaching approximately 2 or more private strings lessons each week (violin/viola). We are looking for a candidate interested in growing this program. This educator ensures that students engage in enjoyment, appreciation, understanding, creation, and performance of music through a variety of planned experiences and designated curriculum which could include listening, creating, performing, responding and connecting to and through music. This position may also involve leading semi-annual music-related field trips to BSO open rehearsals, NSO educational performances, etc.
