Job Description

Elementary Music Teacher 3rd-5th Grade

Part-Time  •  In Person  •  $35.00/hour

A growing music school with two locations is seeking a qualified Elementary Music Teacher for a 3rd–5th Grade Music position. This role runs three days per week during the school day, with the year culminating in two student performances (Winter and Spring). We are looking for a highly qualified & versatile instructor to join our team of effective and caring music educators. 

Instructors will begin as part-time employees. Beginning hourly rate is $35.00 with opportunity to discuss a raise in January. Lessons are taught on site, in person. We are in need of an instructor to lead general music instruction for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students, building toward two performances throughout the year. We provide the lesson plans and the written performances with practice videos. Work hours would be between 8am and 2:50pm.

Bonus Opportunity — After School 5th Grade Band

We are also still looking to fill our After School 5th Grade Beginning Band position (Monday–Thursday, 2:45–4:15 PM). This is not a requirement for the 3rd–5th Grade Music Teacher role, but instructors who are qualified and interested in leading this ensemble as well are encouraged to say so in their application — we would love to fill both positions with the right person. Instructors who take on both roles will be paid $40.00/hour for the band instruction.

Applicant Requirements

• Minimum of a Bachelor's Degree or greater in a related field.

• Previous classroom or group teaching experience

• The ability to teach to the individual while still meeting set goals for the class.

• Good people skills: works well with both children and adults, and enjoys building client relationships.

• Timely & Reliable: though we appreciate the gigging musician, we are not looking for musicians who regularly ask off to travel and record. Consistency in instruction is important to student growth & success.

• Good time management skills.

• A positive attitude during instruction: the ability to encourage and motivate students to work through their weak areas and to build upon their strengths.

• The desire to collaborate with a team to create a high quality, yet fun, music education environment.

• Must love teaching — the desire to make teaching your career is a big plus!

Application Process

Please include a short cover letter which includes:

• Your primary instrument

• Any secondary instruments you are comfortable teaching

• Any group classes you are excited to teach

• A brief description of your teaching experience and methods

• Whether you'd also be interested in leading the After School 5th Grade Band (optional)

We will contact qualified candidates for interviews. Thank you!
