We'd love to meet you.
REW Music is looking for a passionate Cello Private Music Instructor to join our teaching team.
If you enjoy helping students discover their instrument, develop confidence, and experience the joy of making music, this is an opportunity to build a consistent, rewarding teaching studio while becoming part of a team that genuinely cares about music education.
Why Teach Cello at REW Music?
REW Music is more than a music store. We are a community-centered music education business serving students, families, schools, and music educators throughout the Kansas City area.
Our teachers are supported by a team that understands music education. We work together to create opportunities for students to perform, participate, learn, and stay involved in music.
We believe great teaching is about more than simply getting students through a method book. It's about building a strong foundation, developing musicianship, and helping students discover something they can enjoy for years to come.
What You'll Teach
Our cello students may include:
- Beginning students learning their first instrument
- Elementary and middle school orchestra students
- Developing students working on technique and musicianship
- Advanced students preparing for auditions, ensembles, performances, or continued study
We are looking for an instructor who can meet students where they are and help them progress toward their individual musical goals.
What You'll Do
- Teach individual, in-person cello lessons
- Develop engaging, individualized lessons based on each student's goals and ability
- Establish strong foundations in posture, bowing, intonation, tone production, and technique
- Help students develop good practice habits and musical confidence
- Support students participating in school orchestra and other ensembles
- Prepare students for auditions, performances, honor groups, and personal musical goals
- Build positive relationships with students and parents
- Communicate with parents about student progress when appropriate
- Encourage students to participate in performances and other musical opportunities
- Collaborate with other instructors and REW Music staff
- Build and maintain a consistent, long-term teaching studio

You may be a great fit if you are:
- An experienced cello teacher
- A current or recent Music Education or Music Performance student

We are looking for someone who is:

- Patient, positive, and encouraging with students
- Comfortable teaching beginning through advanced students
- Reliable and professional
- Comfortable communicating with parents
- Creative in their approach to music education
- Interested in building relationships with students and families
