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
