Lessons Unlimited Music School is seeking to hire a qualified Band Director to join our faculty. Our company has 9 locations in the greater St. Louis Metro area.
Candidates must possess:
Strong communications skills
Patience
Demonstrable knowledge of their subject expertise
The technical proficiency and means to perform simple website data entry when logging individual lessons and notes into our software at least once per month.
a reliable means of transportation (public transport will satisfy this requirement)
Job Type: Part-time
Responsibilities and Duties:
We are hiring a band instructor to teach private or group music lessons at our various locations. Most of our instructors conduct lessons out of several of our Lessons Unlimited Locations depending on the day of the week and the locations in demand. Instructors are always given the options to choose which locations are geographically acceptable for them to teach at and which ones they do not wish to teach at. We conduct lessons on a year-round basis. Our Fall and Winter semesters are regimented 18-week programs while our Summer semester affords more flexibility, and a lower lesson number commitment for both our families and our instructors if they choose. We require our students to register and pay for a full 18 week semester in order to protect our faculty member’s time and to help provide a reasonable and stable work schedule. Curriculum structure and resources can and should vary from student to student based on each individual student’s knowledge level and capabilities. It is the instructor's discretion to direct student development, the course of study, and recommend corresponding lesson materials for each student. This instructor role provides a high degree of autonomy with little managerial supervision and oversight. The faculty member is responsible for choosing their hours of availability, and their preferred work locations and Lessons Unlimited will provide students accordingly. Candidates must possess the self-motivation, personal accountability, and independent responsibility to represent Lessons Unlimited, themselves, and their student’s interest in a professional manner with diligence and integrity. This is a part-time opportunity that may grow into a full-time opportunity if an instructor provides quality lessons, and chooses to provide adequate availability.
Qualifications and Skills:
An ideal candidate will have completed a Bachelors of Fine Arts or higher degree focused on the instrument or instruments they are qualified to teach. An applicant may also be considered if they are currently working towards their bachelor's degree in education or performance for the instrument of their expertise and have previous teaching experience in their subject(s).
