Starting Date:

Aug 17, 2026 Job Description Music Teacher (Pre-K•3rd Grade) We are seeking an energetic, creative, and patient Music Teacher to become a valued member of our primary school community. In this role, you will go beyond teaching musical notes; you will lay the foundation for rhythm, movement, and self-expression for our youngest learners (Pre-K through Grade 3). We invite someone who can transform the classroom into an environment filled with shaker eggs, ukuleles, and joyful—even if occasionally off-key—singing. Key Responsibilities

Early Childhood Instruction:

Develop and deliver engaging music lessons that emphasize play-based learning and movement for Pre-K and Kindergarten students.

Curriculum Development:

Create a structured curriculum for Grades 1-3 that introduces fundamental music theory, vocal health, and instrumental exploration.

Performance Leadership:

Organize and direct seasonal school concerts or "informances" that highlight student progress in a supportive, stress-free environment.

Collaborative Engagement:

Partner with classroom teachers to integrate music into literacy and mathematics lessons (because counting beats is a powerful skill).

Culture Building:

Promote an inclusive environment in which every student feels confident and encouraged to find their voice.

Qualifications:

A valid Maine Department of Education Teacher Certification with a Music (K-12) Endorsement (614). The "Vibe": An energetic, flexible personality. You're comfortable adapting when students, such as first graders, prefer dancing like penguins over singing a ballad.

Position Type:

Full-time
