What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Guitar Instructor position at School of Rock?
Benefits:
If you play well, explain things clearly and enjoy working with kids and teenagers, we want to hear from you. Teaching experience is welcome, and we will train the right musician. College students with a reliable weekly schedule are welcome to apply.
What You'll Do
Teach weekly private guitar lessons using the School of Rock Method. Help beginners get their first chords and rhythm patterns working, then help more experienced players learn the parts they need for their show.
Help guitar students listen to the band, play their part at the right volume, and prepare for rehearsals and live performances.
Write a short note after each lesson so families and band directors know what to work on. Be friendly with parents and help the team when a lesson cancels. Over time, there may be opportunities to support rehearsals or direct a show.
THE SCHEDULE
Lessons and rehearsals run Sunday through Thursday. Our greatest need is on weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Tell us every hour you can teach and whether you prefer Fayetteville, Bentonville or both. This is an in-person role.
Students keep the same weekly lesson time for a season, usually about 3 to 5 months. We need you to commit to a consistent schedule for the full season.
What We're Looking For
You can teach chord changes, rhythm, basic lead playing and clean technique. You can read chord charts and tablature, and help students learn parts by ear.
You are patient with beginners and comfortable working with students roughly ages 7 to 18, plus some adults. Performance, ensemble, church, studio and private teaching experience can all be relevant. A second instrument is a plus; tell us what else you play.
You must be able to pass the required background check and follow School of Rock's Code of Conduct and safety and supervision policies when working with minors.
WHY TEACH HERE
You get to hear something you taught in a lesson come together at rehearsal and on stage. Use the School of Rock Method, lesson materials and Method App, and work alongside other musicians. We provide training for the right teacher.
How To Apply
Apply through this posting and include your availability and school preference. A resume is optional. If you already have a playing or performance clip, you can add a YouTube link (unlisted is fine) or a Google Drive link. A short phone-recorded introduction is fine too. Skipping the video will not count against you.
If it looks like a fit, we'll ask for a short teaching demo before your interview: a couple of minutes showing how you would help a 12-year-old picking up a guitar for the first time. Phone quality is fine.
By clicking 'SUBMIT' you recognize that you are applying for work with an independently owned and operated franchise of School of Rock, not School of Rock, LLC. or any of its affiliates. Any information you submit will be provided solely to the franchisee. If hired, the franchisee will be your only employer. Wage and benefit programs can vary among franchisees.
