About the Position
Ensemble Schools is seeking a fun, experienced, and professional substitute piano/woodwinds instructor to teach part-time at Reeder Music Academy in Danville, CA. We are looking for teachers who will instruct in person. The ability to teach more instruments is a plus and may lead to more of a full-time opportunity, depending on the instrument(s).
Teachers can set their availability within our open hours as needed, but both students and school staff appreciate consistency and preference will be given to candidates with greater availability. Substitutes are used on an as-needed basis when regular teachers are unable to teach their students.
Successful candidates will have a strong music background evidenced by a degree in music performance, pedagogy, or equivalent performing experience, a demonstrated love of teaching, experience working with young musicians, a robust appreciation for punctuality, reliable transportation, and the ability to pass a routine background check.
Instructor pay is commensurate with experience and will be in the range of $35-$40/hour. A 401(K) program with employer matching is available to all of our employees after 90 days on the job, and teachers who average 30 hours or more per week are eligible for our Health/Vision/Dental offerings.
