Description
We are seeking a part time strings teacher to provide weekly violin, viola, and/or cello lessons to grade school-aged students. You can expect to teach anywhere from 2 to 20 hours per week, depending on your availability and current client demand. Lessons are taught in half hour increments. As part of our team, you will enjoy a fully equipped music classroom, including a wide and growing library of repertoire and educational activities to draw from. We provide constant training, mentoring, and career development for optimal teacher performance and growth. Our dedicated office staff handles all scheduling, billing and client communication. Preference will be given to candidates with a degree in Music, Music Education, and/or those with classroom experience. We are seeking an exemplary individual who knows that music changes lives and that teaching is a journey. They value and continually seek to curate relationships with students, families, and within The Harmony Garden team. They are efficient, organized, punctual, and dependable. They are fully inclusive, accepting, and caring of others. They are passionate about the benefits that music has on the human experience, and radiate positivity and enthusiasm. They are fully present for each student: making eye contact, listening to them as they wish to be listened to, and leaving no possibility for distraction. They bring innovative approaches to students’ learning, and thrive on collaboration. They have a true team spirit, and recognize that each individual is only as strong as the collective they encompass. About The Harmony Garden: "Enriching Lives. Celebrating Individuality. Empowering Futures." Founded in 2013, The Harmony Garden is a leading music education center in the southern Dutchess County region, offering enrichment and top-quality education from birth through adulthood. We were deeply honored to be awarded Reader's Choice for Best Music School by Hudson Valley Magazine in 2020. We know that music is superfood for the mind, but even more, it is the very language of the heart and soul. Our true passion is not to create musicians: it is to create joyous, confident, creative, authentic individuals who boldly shine their brilliance forward into both a better tomorrow and a better world.
