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 40 active partner schools throughout DC, MD, IL, MA, NY, CT, OH, CA, CO, MN, and PA.
About the Role
We are looking for enthusiastic educators to join our team for the 2025-2026 school year to teach beginning-level violin, piano, and guitar. This role is designed for two types of leaders: music teachers who want to expand their horizons, and classroom teachers who want to pivot their careers back into music.
As a Music Kids Faculty Member, you will teach small group classes at our partner school locations. The position involves a blend of in-school teaching and student performances, alongside out-of-school responsibilities such as parent communication, lesson planning, progress reporting, and supplementary virtual learning. 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.
While the ability to teach violin and guitar/piano is strongly preferred, it is not required to apply. Curriculum resources and assistance are available to help you learn the basics for beginner-level teaching of all three instruments. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about having a direct impact on the primary education system and are comfortable working with a wide range of students, including those as young as 3-5 years old.
Hiring Process
Applicants must reside in and be legally qualified to work in the United States and must submit to customary background checks. Selected candidates will be hired to work on-site at local partner schools, committing to one academic year (mid-August to mid-June) with opportunities to extend employment for the additional two summer months.
