Preferred Skills & Experience
Seeking an experienced teacher/performer to teach class piano to Commercial Music students. The successful candidate will be comfortable with many commercial music genres, including pop, R&B, jazz, musical theatre, etc. Our student body is extremely positive and supportive, and we need our new full-time teacher to reflect and embrace that open-mindedness and commitment to inclusivity. Must be highly organized, familiar with Mac computer software, and able to assist students with accessing eCampus to complete assignments in all their commercial music classes. Savvy with technology, and especially music technology in general, is helpful. The candidate should be able to explain to students how to prepare, create, edit, acquire, commission, or otherwise obtain appropriate commercial music charts and lead sheets to support their performances. Sometimes, this may mean creating charts for students and/or showing students how to use lead sheet software such as iRealPro, UnRealBook, etc. Many of our students come with no prior traditional music training but with strong ears, enthusiasm, talent, and a desire to work in any of the many facets of the music industry—first and foremost in recording technology and production and secondarily as performers and music business entrepreneurs. The successful candidate will be an active performer with a local, national (and/or international) reputation, who can teach class piano and synthesizer, has the ability to teach historical aspects of music (all genres), and is comfortable with all ages and ability levels.
