Seeking Long-Term Substitute Music Teacher

Brightfield School is seeking an innovative, collaborative, and passionate music educator to provide approximately 1 day of music instruction each week through the 2025-26 school year, starting mid- late November, with a preference for Fridays on campus.

Summary

At Brightfield, you will find a student-centered, teacher-led, collaborative community. Brightfield’s Music Teacher will contracted for 1 day of work each week that school is in session in order to plan, prepare, and deliver approximately 3-4 hours of music instruction total in 30 minute - 1 hour blocks to 3-4 student groups:
