Private Music Lessons Teacher

$25 - $28 per hour
Part-time

ROOTS Academy

Job Title: Music Mentor (All Instruments)
Job Summary:
ROOTS Academy is hiring Music Mentors to teach private music lessons to students across the Greater Nashville area. We are seeking passionate, dependable instructors on all instruments — including piano, voice, guitar, drums, strings, brass, woodwinds, and more.

As a ROOTS Mentor, you’ll do more than teach — you’ll mentor students in both music and personal growth. This role is ideal for teachers who are deeply committed to building long-term student relationships and are excited to help students grow in confidence, creativity, and skill.

Interested in applying? Please complete our full ROOTS Educator Application using the link below. Applications submitted only here will not be considered complete.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide weekly one-on-one private lessons in your primary instrument(s) at ROOTS Academy or other approved locations.

  • Teach students foundational through advanced musical skills, including technique, music theory, and performance preparation.

  • Foster a safe, encouraging, and inspiring learning environment for students ages 5 – adult.

  • Communicate regularly with parents about student progress and development.

  • Participate in bi-monthly team meetings, quarterly recitals, and occasional professional development sessions at our Brentwood campus.

Work Schedule:

Mentors are typically scheduled for 2–3 days per week during the following hours:

  • Monday–Thursday: 2:00–8:30 PM

  • Friday: 2:00–7:00 PM

  • Saturday: 9:00 AM–3:00 PM

Consistent availability during peak after-school hours is required.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of one year of teaching experience on your primary instrument(s).
  • Commitment to teaching with ROOTS for at least one full year.
  • Successful completion of a criminal background check.
  • Reliability, strong communication skills, and a passion for mentoring young musicians.
  • Multi-instrumentalists preferred (piano and voice especially!)

Compensation:

  • Lesson Rate: $25–$28/hour starting rate, based on experience, instrument, and schedule availability.

  • Opportunities for advancement and additional teaching assignments based on performance and tenure.
