ABOUT GROW YOUR GIFT CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC

We are a collaborative community music school in which students of all ages enroll in private or group classes on many instruments. Aside from top-level instruction, we have positioned ourselves in the community to work with several public and private school music programs.

Instructors uphold the highest teaching standards and act in accordance with Grow Your Gift Conservatory of Music's policies and procedures. Positions are open in Crestview, FL. Instructors are paid based on the number of hours they teach.

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced, accomplished, and deeply committed Private Guitar Teacher to join the Grow Your Gift Music team. This is not a beginner-level teaching role. We are looking for highly qualified teachers — someone who has spent five years or more developing a comprehensive, adaptive approach to piano instruction and who can guide students confidently from their very first lesson all the way through late intermediate repertoire, music theory, and performance preparation. The ideal candidate brings both high-level musicianship and a genuine gift for teaching.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Upon hiring, instructors submit their availability to build a consistent weekly teaching schedule. This schedule is posted publicly and should remain stable except in extenuating circumstances. It may take time to develop a full student load, and it is not uncommon for instructors to hold non-music teaching employment elsewhere in the early stages. Once instructors have thoroughly understood their roles and responsibilities, the position becomes largely autonomous — with occasional observations and feedback from leadership. We keep administrative responsibilities minimal so that teaching is always your primary focus. Instructors are responsible for two core administrative tasks: Entering daily attendance for every student on your roster Responding promptly to all correspondence via email, phone, and Opus messenger
