Assistant Director of Homeschool Bands and Jazz Studies

(Part-Time) – REW Music

REW Music is seeking a passionate, accomplished, and dependable music educator to serve as the Assistant Director of Homeschool Bands. This is an important leadership position within our Homeschool Music Program and is ideal for an individual who values excellence in music education, enjoys investing in the lives of students, and desires to become an integral part of a collaborative and thriving teaching team.

The Assistant Director will work alongside the Director in teaching, conducting, and helping lead multiple Band ensembles while maintaining the high musical standards and positive learning environment that define our program.

At REW Music, we believe music changes lives. We are committed to helping students develop not only as musicians but also as confident, disciplined, and servant-hearted young men and women who understand the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and encouraging others through music. Musical excellence is important, but we believe excellence is best achieved through meaningful relationships, servant leadership, and a commitment to lifelong learning. We are seeking an educator who shares these values and desires to make a lasting impact on the next generation of musicians.
