Be A Summer Band Coach At NYC Guitar School!

NYC Guitar School is one of America’s largest music schools with 3,000 students and 50 teachers, including campers in NYC's longest running rock music day camp. Students love our camp because they make friends, learn new skills, make music and play a great show. But our ultimate mission is not teaching music. Our mission is “Coaching Personal Greatness One Lesson At A Time" and we know that our summer program is successful when our campers grow in confidence, skill and musical and social resilience.

We want to meet YOU. We are interviewing for this position now!
