About the Position

Subbing opportunities are available at New World Music Academy in Alamo, Dublin and Pleasanton, Reeder Music Academy in Danville, and Melody Academy of Music with locations in Fremont, Cupertino, and Palo Alto.

Requirements:

  • Ability to teach beginner to advanced students on various instruments
  • Afternoon and evening availability. Weekends are a plus
  • Available to teach in-person lessons

    Successful candidates will have a strong music background evidenced by a degree in music performance, pedagogy, or equivalent performing experience, a demonstrated love of teaching, experience working with young musicians, a robust appreciation for punctuality, reliable transportation, and the ability to pass a routine background check.

    Instructor pay for a substitute role is $40/hour. A 401(K) program with employer matching is available to all of our employees after 30 days on the job. Health benefits options are available for all part- and full-time employees at Ensemble.
