Piano Guitar and Voice Teacher
Lake Oswego
Future Opening: Piano Guitar and Voice Teacher
Part Time • Lake Oswego
Benefits:
- Bonus based on performance
- Employee discounts
- Flexible schedule
We are currently looking to hire a new music teacher who can teach piano, guitar and voice. Applicants do not need to be professional performers, but should have a background in teaching.
By teaching, we mean instructing students, building a strong rapport with both a student and/or parent, moving through a pathway for personal growth for a student by using method books, supplementary materials and exploration with personal creation. Teachers should be able to provide action items for students at each lesson that builds on the musical pathway and growth of the student.
Piano is by far the most popular instrument chosen by students starting out. We like having instructors who can teach other instruments because sometimes students just need to experiment through a few instruments before finding which one there are passionate playing.
If you can teach other instruments other than piano, guitar and voice, that is helpful, but not needed. If there are any other instruments that applicants are versed in, please provide that in your response to this post or the resume or cover letter.
We want our teachers to grow and expand their personal journey with music as much as our students. We encourage exploration of other instruments so that teachers can grow with us and learn to open their teaching repertoire.
Compensation: $26.00 - $39.00 per hour
OUR STORY
History of Lake Music
Lake Music was founded in 1970 by Sid Smither. As a 3rd generation musician, he was set on a career of an opera singer. Unfortunately, a surgery that didn’t go well for him, closed that door. But instead of losing hope, Sid worked hard to open his own music store, Lake Music, and continued another 3rd generational tradition – music education.
Over the last 51 years, Lake Music has served as a hub for musical instruction and mentoring. So much so that Lake Music is now seeing the grandchildren of students who had learned music at Lake Music.
The sudden demise of Sid Smither in 2013 left the music store and the community he so much loved, behind. But rather than see Lake Music close, Sid’s son, Tim Smither, did everything possible to keep the music store alive. The pandemic further made Tim quarantine himself to understand the business and by June 2020, he left his job of 20 years to work at Lake Music full time.
