What are the responsibilities and job description for the Private Music Instructor position at The Studio?
The Studio is Hiring!
We're a performing/fine arts business in Rockford that offers private lessons along with producing large-scale musical productions for kids ages 8-19. We're on the lookout for the next few Private Music Instructors to add to our amazing team, specifically for voice and piano.
As a Private Music Instructor at The Studio, your job is to help kids absolutely fall in love with music. At The Studio, our instructors challenge kids to discover just how cool playing and singing can be, through artful and educated instruction, games and recording sessions, and piles of fun music. In addition, kids get better. Plus, we have a blast with them along the way.
Our ideal candidate for this position...
- Must like kids. They are our prime audience, and the ideal Instructor gets jazzed when a kid lights up after finally figuring out that 12-bar blues progression.
- Must have chops. The ideal instructor must show a proficiency in his or her own musical discipline (voice, piano, guitar, etc.). The Instructors we employ are phenomenal performers and have mad skills in their own right.
- Must be diversified. Jazz, Broadway, Country, Pop, Rock, Blues...any and all genres are fair game to teach a kid a concept.
- Must be clean. The ideal candidate would use any and all genres to teach a kid a concept, but we're talking kids here. No explicit lyrics, suggestive content, or off-color innuendo. Our brand is family-friendly, from lessons and sessions to teachers and shows.
- Must be a planter. The instruction that we're giving these kids is permanent---because numerous offshoots of learning an instrument are perseverance, practice, goal-setting, and self-confidence. However, our instructors know that it might take months and years to grasp a concept. Our instructors plant, and plant, and plant.
- Previous lesson instruction experience preferred, but not required
- Bachelor's Degree preferred, but not required
We're picky about who we put in front of these kids. An instructor in a kid's life, especially at the ages we deal with, can be incredibly influential. We're teaching music, yes, but we've found that a great instructor is so much more than just that.
Our instructors set their own schedule. They let us know when they are available to teach, and we work to fill it with students. Right now, The Studio employs 7 teachers working at or near full capacity, with a healthy waiting list of kids looking to jump in.
