This part-time role supports the school’s broader commitment to cultivating creativity, self-expression, and musical literacy within a Montessori framework.

  • Provide clear expectations for home/school practice, while keeping the tone supportive and positive.
  • Communicate professionally and positively with school staff and families as needed.
  • Maintain a clean, safe learning environment and help students care for instruments and materials.

Qualifications:

  • Experience teaching violin to children in a group setting (preferably ages 6–18).
  • Strong knowledge of violin technique and pedagogy (e.g., Suzuki, Kodály, traditional methods).
  • Ability to create a calm, respectful, and joyful learning space.
  • Punctuality, dependability, and effective communication skills.
  • Must pass a background check and meet all school safety requirements.
  • Bachelor’s degree in music or music education preferred, but equivalent experience considered.

Schedule & Compensation:

  • 7:30 AM – 8:30 AM
