Job description

Music Kids is looking for enthusiastic educators to join our team for the 2024-2025 school year to teach beginning level violin, piano, and guitar. Music Kids is an instrumental education program offering small group classes (usually between 2-4 students each) and some individual lessons on-site at our local partner schools.



We are looking for enthusiastic and open-minded educators interested in teaching very young students, ages 3 and up. We're hiring 1) music teachers who want to expand their horizons, and 2) classroom teachers who want to pivot their careers back into music. Ability to teach violin and guitar/piano is strongly preferred but not required to apply. We have a particular need for violin teachers, but are accepting applicants for piano and guitar. Curriculum resources and assistance are available to learn the basics for beginner level teaching of all three instruments!



The Organization:



Music Kids exists to enrich and improve student development by bringing musical instrument education programs into the local school environment.



To date, Music Kids has taught thousands of students at over 90 active partner schools throughout DC, MD, VA, IL, MO, MA, NY, CT, CA, PA, and WA. The organization is hiring qualified individuals to work as Music Kids Faculty Members on-site at its local partner schools.

  • 40 hrs/week may be available if required by employee, contingent on schedule availability.
  • Additional benefits available for employees working 20+ hours include PTO, holidays, and insurance.
  • Applicants must reside in and be legally qualified to work in the United States, and must submit to customary background checks

  • Is passionate about having a direct impact on the primary education system in this country
