This position is a strong match if you:

• Have real experience working with young children and enjoy helping them explore, create, and express themselves
• Studied piano with a teacher and have a solid understanding of music theory and technique
• Feel excited about the idea of teaching and have a natural desire to see others grow
• Are open to learning, willing to be coached, and appreciate thoughtful feedback
• Value patience, flexibility and connection in your approach to children
• Strive to create a warm, encouraging space where every child feels seen and capable
• Are organized, dependable and comfortable working independently
• Have your own transportation
• Are available on Monday afternoons
• Live in or near Kirkland
• Can commit to teaching for at least one year

What Move Over Mozart truly cares about

• Celebrating every student’s success
• Inspiring motivation through play and purpose
• Teachers as the heart of the program

What You Can Expect . . . 

After three months , you’ll discover a growing confidence that feels both natural and deeply rewarding. Teaching will no longer feel like a challenge but a joyful flow where you intuitively know how to reach each child. You’ll build genuine connections that make lessons come alive, and you’ll witness the sparkle in their eyes when they realize they can play. Knowing which moments inspire curiosity and focus will fill you with a quiet pride and renewed passion for teaching.

After your first recital you will feel a deep and well-earned sense of accomplishment. Watching your students play with excitement and confidence will fill you with joy and pride. Knowing that your guidance helped them grow and overcome hesitation will remind you why teaching music matters. Parents will share their gratitude and you will see the powerful difference you are making in young lives.

After a year you will feel a deep sense of confidence and ease in your teaching. Planning lessons will become second nature as you master activities that both engage your students and build essential piano skills. Watching your students’ progress will fill you with pride and gratitude, knowing you helped unlock their potential. You will be embraced by a community of teachers who understand your dedication and share in celebrating every meaningful moment. This journey will deepen your love for teaching and remind you why you chose this path.

Class Description

Classes are small (maximum of 6 students) and full of energy, held at schools or community centers in your neighborhood. Students range from preschool through elementary age, grouped by age and ability. Every child in the room has signed up because they want to be there, and that makes all the difference. Lessons are joyful, interactive and thoughtfully paced to match each child’s growth.

The curriculum is organized and designed especially for young beginners. You’ll receive hands-on training on how to guide each age group, how to teach piano in a group setting, and how to plan fun, motivating lessons that keep children engaged and progressing. Training happens both in and out of the classroom, with continued support to help you grow, refine your teaching skills, and stay connected to a team of teachers that shares your goals.

What you’ll do in this role:

• Teach small group piano classes for children
• Plan each class using provided lesson outlines, objectives, and materials
• Create an engaging, supportive environment where children enjoy learning
• Work independently in the classroom, while being part of a team that shares ideas, celebrates progress, and supports one another
• Communicate with students and families in a kind and professional way
• Represent Move Over Mozart with care, reliability and enthusiasm
• Continue growing through training, mentorship and support from the studio
