Role
School of Rock Summer Creek is hiring a high-level Piano/Keys Instructor to develop students from beginner through advanced and prepare them for live performance. This role is for experienced musicians and educators who run structured, intentional lessons, maintain high standards, and consistently drive measurable student progress.

Core Responsibilities

Deliver high-quality, structured one-on-one piano/keys lessons

Adapt teaching approach across beginner, intermediate, and advanced students

Prepare students for rehearsals and live performances

Set clear goals and assign weekly practice

Track and communicate student progress consistently

Collaborate with other instructors and school leadership

Non-Negotiables

Professional, proactive communication with parents and staff

Maintain a focused, productive lesson environment

Strong foundation in technique, theory, and contemporary styles

Experience coaching rock, pop, and contemporary music

Proven ability to work with youth and varying skill levels

High level of reliability and professionalism

Preferred

Formal training in piano pedagogy or music education

Not a Fit If You

Struggle with punctuality or consistency

"Wing" lessons without structure

Avoid teaching fundamentals (technique + theory)

Can’t adapt to different student levels

Treat teaching as a casual side gig

Why This Role Stands Out
Performance-based program (students perform live), high standards and strong team culture, opportunity to develop well-rounded, real musicians, and work with students across all skill levels.

Compensation & Performance Bonus
This is a performance-driven role with clear expectations and upside. You’ll participate in our Grow Together Bonus Program, designed to reward consistency, professionalism, and contribution to student growth and enrollment. Additonal income opportunities include new student enrollments, program and camp sign-ups, referrals, and gear sales.
