What are the responsibilities and job description for the Voice Instructor position at Jerry Evans School of Music?
The Jerry Evans School of Music is a rapidly growing school looking for a very friendly, hard working, and professional voice instructor who is able to teach through at least an advanced high school level. We are looking for someone with a great attitude and wants to go the extra mile. This position will start with approximately 10 hours of students, where the instructor would be making approximately $17,000-19,000 per year. The new position could grow up to 15-20 hours of students per week. At that 15-20 hour mark, the instructor could make approximately $27,000-$38,000 per year. Our ideal candidate is interested in helping to grow the voice program to reach that number of students. Candidates should be comfortable teaching classical, pop, rock, musical theater, jazz & more.
Lessons take place at our school, conveniently located in Downtown Wheaton. We strive to develop a culture of music in the families of our students.
Our goal at the Jerry Evans School of Music is to find each student's "Passion Center" (what makes them excited about music, i.e. why they chose their instrument in the first place). Whether that be a style of music or a performing goal for their future, we value our students' goals and make them our own. In this way, each student becomes passionate about practicing and is able to keep a goal in mind. We also prioritize teaching students the proper fundamentals/technique so that they are equipped to reach their goals. With a balance of these two values, we see a high success rate and get to observe significant growth in each student. Our ideal voice instructor will be able to teach each student in the different styles they prefer (Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, etc.) and help each student reach their individual goals.
The Jerry Evans School of Music highly values excellence. Each instructor, including the vocal instructor, has at least a bachelor's degree, if not a master's degree, in music, and works hard to make sure each of their students succeeds to the best of their ability.
In addition to private lessons, the Jerry Evans school of Music also offers Rock Band Classes, a young kids program from ages 0-5 (Mini Musicians) and a Children's Choir for ages 6-11(Young singers). We have Classical student concerts and Rock Shows for the Fall and Spring semesters where the students get additional performing opportunities either with fellow students or by themselves. Teachers are expected to organize their own recitals, and coach band classes as needed.
