Love teaching music?
What We Believe
The best way to learn music is with one-on-one, private instruction.
Each lesson individually tailored for the way the student learns best, taking into account age, experience, personality, and learning style.
We believe that a college education makes for a better teacher, as the instructor can draw not only musical pedagogy but also from other fields such as psychology and sociology.
What we are looking for in teachers
- College Education – Preferred: Music degree or education degree.
- Experience Teaching – at least one year of previous teaching experience.
- Personality – An upbeat personality that makes lessons fun and exciting for the student.
- A Love of Kids – Absolutely must love children of all ages.
- Clean Background – Background checks run for all teachers: criminal, drug, and sexual offender.
