If you’re passionate about teaching and love being part of a collaborative, growth-oriented team — this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

As one of our violin faculty, you’ll teach private and/or group violin lessons to students ages 5 through adult, helping them build strong technique, musicianship, and confidence. You’ll work closely with our administrative team to support student progress and create an excellent lesson experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Teach engaging violin lessons (private and group) using established curricula and best practices
• Communicate clearly with parents and staff about student progress
• Prepare students for recitals, festivals, and studio performances
