Employee discounts Flexible schedule Job Summary We are currently looking to hire a new music teacher who is versed in both woodwinds and brass instruments. Applicants do not need to be professional performers, but should have a background in teaching. By teaching, we mean instructing students, building a strong rapport with both a student and/or parent, moving through a pathway for personal growth for a student by using method books, supplementary materials and exploration with personal creation. Teachers should be able to provide action items for students at each lesson that builds on the musical pathway and growth of the student. The most popular wind instruments are clarinet, flute, alto sax and tenor sax. If you can teach soprano, baritone, oboe or bassoon, that is helpful, but not needed. In terms of brass, the most popular are trumpet, trombone, french horn and baritone/euphonium. We are looking for teachers who are also versed in piano. If there are any other instruments that applicants are versed in, please provide that in your response to this post or the resume or cover letter. We want our teachers to grow and expand their personal journey with music as much as our students. We encourage exploration of other instruments so that teachers can grow with us and learn to open their teaching repertoire. Please apply if you are looking for a home to teach and grow as a musical mentor. Responsibilities Choose activities, lessons, and musical performances based on the skill set and available students Hold auditions for each activity or musical, and assign parts as necessary Schedule and supervise rehearsals within the appropriate school hours Properly assess the skills of each student under your care, and work with each student to develop their individual skills Stay up to date with trends in both teaching and the music industry Attend staff meetings, as needed Create budgets for productions, and work within budgetary limitations Maintain all musical equipment, as necessary Qualifications Previous experience teaching music Strong communication and interpersonal skills Strong organizational skills Excellent leadership and time management skills The ability to make decisions under pressure
