Violin/Piano/Guitar Music Teacher

About the Organization

Music Kids exists to enrich and improve student development by bringing musical instrument education programs into the local school environment. To date, the organization has taught thousands of students at over 90 active partner schools throughout DC, MD, VA, IL, MO, MA, NY, CT, CA, PA, and WA.

About the Role

We are looking for enthusiastic and open-minded educators to join our team for the 2024-2025 school year. This role is designed for two types of candidates: music teachers who want to expand their horizons into early childhood education, and classroom teachers who want to pivot their careers back into music.

As a Music Kids Faculty Member, you will teach beginning-level violin, piano, and guitar in small group classes (typically 2-4 students) and some individual lessons on-site at our local partner schools. While the ability to teach violin and guitar/piano is strongly preferred, it is not required to apply; we have a particular need for violin teachers but are accepting applicants for all three instruments. Curriculum resources and assistance are available to help you learn the basics of beginner-level teaching for all three instruments.

The position involves a blend of in-school teaching and out-of-school program management. Your day will include teaching and student performances, managing student records, providing meaningful learning updates to parents, and supporting students virtually. You will also play a key role in promoting the program and driving enrollment at partner school events, particularly during registration in August and September. This role offers a unique opportunity to have a direct impact on the primary education system while collaborating with senior resident Faculty Members and staff on professional development.

Hiring Process & Application

Applicants must reside in and be legally qualified to work in the United States and must submit to customary background checks. We invite you to apply if you are passionate about working with young students (ages 3 and up) and are ready to represent our organization as a reliable, creative, and independent educator.
