Private Piano Teacher

At Rae of Sunshine Music, we do more than just teach piano—we create a space where music, mentorship, and meaningful connections come together. Our students aren’t just learning notes; they’re building confidence, developing discipline, and discovering joy through the power of music. That’s why we are intentional about the team members we bring on—because the right teacher doesn’t just fit into our vision; they amplify it.

Our ideal team member is someone who thrives on purpose and professionalism. They show up on time for every lesson—whether it’s in person at a student’s home or virtually when weather conditions call for flexibility. They recognize that each family is making a meaningful investment in their child’s growth, and they treat that investment with care and respect. Administrative tasks are never an afterthought. This person consistently submits their weekly and monthly reports without prompting.

We’re looking for a part-time music teacher who’s passionate about making a positive impact and excited to grow

with a purpose-driven team.
