Music Teacher

Job description:

Song of Stars is currently looking for qualified instructors to join our Vancouver team

This is a part time position and the amount of day's taught would be anywhere from 1 to 3 days a week on either Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs or Saturday's. Most teaching days end up being around 6 + hours.

We're looking for a multi-disciplinary music instructor who is proficient in and able to teach multiple instruments or areas such as piano, drums, voice, guitar, ukulele, songwriting, and/or music production.

At the moment, we're especially looking for someone who can teach drums, voice, piano, music production, and guitar.

Instructors who are skilled in teaching multiple disciplines will be considered top candidates.

Role:

A Song of Stars instructor will help form an empowering culture for students of all ages wanting to grow in their enjoyment of music. Instructors are asked to bring their own unique approach to music instruction based on their individual level of experience in teaching, live performance and musical knowledge.

Instructors will be qualifying and nurturing each individual student's unique expression and taste in music and supporting the development of that. Instructors will also ensure that every student is trained in our fundamental areas of music development.

We provide lessons for VOICE, GUITAR, UKULELE, PIANO, SONGWRITING, DRUMS, MUSIC PRODUCTION and PERFORMANCE (with lessons both in-person and online) and are always looking for motivated, creative and experienced instructors in these areas.

Most Song of Stars instructors offer a blend of instruction (i.e. songwriting / voice / guitar). For example, voice may be your primary instrument but additional competencies in other instruments are valuable and add to the holistic approach we offer students at Song of Stars.

About Song of Stars:

Song of Stars believes that everyone has a unique song that lies within and we are committed to empowering people to express that creativity through music. We do this by fostering a culture of creativity, excellence and innovation.

Our mission is to inspire students through qualifying personal expression, giving vision and encouragement. To provide instruction with practical tools (teaching methods / workshops) to grow musical expressions and to create and support outlets for students to share their music with others (i.e. Showcases, recording and other performing opportunities).

Song of Stars is currently in an exciting time of development and growth, so joining the team means you'll be coming along with us on that journey. This means that you may have to be flexible and patient with the growing of your student roster. Being a part of a growing company also means that you'd be a fundamental part in the shaping of the culture and brand of Song of Stars while raising up aspiring artist and creatives.
