WHY MUSIC TEACHERS CHOOSE TO TEACH AT ROOS STUDIOS:

1. TEAM FOCUS ON RETENTION

Although teachers do their best to retain students, over the course of the year students can move or quit. We carefully research reasons for student drops and do our best to help teachers retain students.

2. YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITY IS TO TEACH AND RETAIN STUDENTS

Our organized and friendly administrative and management staff handle all policy enforcement and lesson scheduling. This means that the teacher is free to focus on teaching and not get bogged down by handling awkward situations like tuition collection or scheduling. Driving all over town for a couple lessons, paying for high gas rates, trying to remember who is months behind on tuition, protecting your time against student cancellations with no pay - these are all problems of the past. Show up. Teach. Go home.

3. CONVENIENCE OF AN ON-SITE BOOKSTORE

Each of our locations has an on-site bookstore with a large variety of music books and fun titles like - Best of Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Faber Piano Adventures Method books, Minecraft, Suzuki Curriculum, Hal Leonard Guitar, Ukulele, Drums and more. No more having to send links, deal with orders and delivery hassles. Your students can follow a classical curriculum by Henle Verlag and Schirmer publishing, or browse through our fun selections of Pop Chart Hits, Best of John Williams and more. They can get inspired by the collection of Broadway Musicals compilations, Sound of Music Song Collections, Harry Styles Songs on Piano, Adele, and the list goes on. Our front desk staff will assist you in all customer purchases. Students can grab a book on the spot and start learning their favorite song right away!

4. YOUR TIME IS RESPECTED AND YOU ARE PAID WHEN STUDENTS CANCEL LATE

Our teachers are still paid teacher rate for same day cancellations since they are required to send out an assignment through the student portal.

5. NO HAVING TO COME IN FOR EXTRA MAKEUP LESSONS

Make-ups generally occur within your regular teaching schedule. This means - no makeups on random days and times or weekends. We work as a team and do makeup lessons for each other's students.

6. STUDENT PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES

Performance Opportunities are offered quarterly at our in-house Recital Hall in Carlsbad that hosts a full stage, sound system and 9ft Yamaha CF Concert Grand Piano. We offer a more intimate live showcase at our Mission Viejo location that has a wonderful city view and a nearly 8ft Yamaha C7 Grand Piano.

7. ALWAYS KNOW YOUR SCHEDULE WITH OUR ONLINE SCHEDULING SYSTEM

Access your current LIVE schedule, absences, make-ups, etc. online through your teacher portal at all times.

8. PARENT COMMUNICATION IS EASY THROUGH OUR STUDENT PORTAL

At ROOS, teacher privacy is a high priority. Our teachers only communicate with students during work shifts and only through the student scheduling portal. This means - no texts over the weekends from parents asking about their kids' assignments, asking why their kids aren't practicing, or when the next showcase is. We try to make our teachers' jobs easy and provide the support you need. Our Staff will refer to your teacher lesson notes to assist parents during off times.

9. BENEFIT OPTIONS FOR FULL-TIMERS OVER AGE 21 (AFTER 60 DAY WAITING PERIOD):
