What are the responsibilities and job description for the Piano & Keyboard Teacher position at Bach to Rock -- Herndon?
Piano & Keyboard Teacher | Bach to Rock® Music School — Herndon, VA
Are you a skilled pianist or keyboard player with a passion for teaching? Bach to Rock® Music School in Herndon, VA is looking for an enthusiastic Piano & Keyboard Teacher to join our team of professional musician-educators at our studio in the Worldgate Centre.
At Bach to Rock, piano students don't spend years on scales before they get to play music they love. Our student-first approach means lessons are built around each student's goals — whether that's learning classical repertoire, playing pop songs by ear, mastering chord-based accompaniment, or developing music theory foundations. You'll teach private one-on-one lessons to students of all ages, from young beginners (ages 5 ) through adults, in a professional and supportive school environment.
What You'll Do:
- Teach private piano and keyboard lessons across all skill levels — beginner through advanced
- Draw on a broad range of styles: classical, pop, rock, R&B, jazz, contemporary, and more
- Build personalized lessons using Bach to Rock's curriculum framework as your foundation
- Track student progress and maintain open communication with parents
- Bring energy, patience, and genuine enthusiasm to every lesson
Schedule & Availability:
- Weekday afternoons and evenings (approx. 3PM–9PM)
- Saturdays (9AM–5PM)
- Flexible — we work around your performing and gigging schedule
Compensation — Tiered by Experience (W-2 Hourly):
- Tier 1 — Entry/Developing Instructor: $17–$18/hr
- Tier 2 — Established Instructor: $18–$20/hr
- Tier 3 — Advanced/Specialist Instructor: $20–$22/hr
- Tier 4 — Senior/Expert Instructor: $22–$25/hr
Your tier is determined by your education, teaching history, and performance background — with a clear path to grow.
Who We're Looking For:
- Strong piano and/or keyboard proficiency — classical foundation and contemporary versatility equally valued
- Prior teaching experience is a plus, but we welcome emerging instructors with the right passion
- Comfortable and patient with students of all ages, especially young beginners
- Reliable transportation to our Herndon studio
- Must pass a background check
