Piano Instructor

After school

The Jerry Evans School of Music is a rapidly growing school looking for a very friendly, hard working, and professional piano instructor who is able to teach through at least an advanced high school level. We are looking for an excellent teacher with high integrity, character, a positive and encouraging attitude, and who wants to "go the extra mile" to make a difference in student's lives. This position will start with approximately 10 hours of students, where the instructor would be making approximately $19,000-$20,000 per year. The new position could grow to up to 16-18 hours of students per week. At that 16-18 hour mark, the instructor could make approximately $31,000-$36,000. The Jerry Evans School of Music's mission is to be an excellent, high caliber, and cutting edge music school that creates a musical culture in our community, and helps students achieve their passions and dreams in music. We care about making an impact in our culture, student's lives, and the families we serve.

Candidates should be comfortable teaching classical music, and potentially other genres like rock, pop, jazz, latin, & more.

The JESM wants to find each student's "passion center" - what makes them excited about music and why they chose their instrument in the first place. Whether that "passion center" is a style of music or a performing goal, we value our students' goals and make them our own. In this way, each student becomes passionate about practicing and is able to keep a goal in mind. We also prioritize teaching students the proper technique and fundamentals so that they are equipped with healthy practices for the goal of longevity. With a balance of these two values - passion center and technique - we see a high success rate and get to observe significant growth in each student. Our ideal piano instructor will be able to teach each student in the different styles they prefer (classical, jazz, rock, & pop) and help each student reach their individual goals.

The Jerry Evans School of Music highly values excellence. Each instructor, including the piano instructor, has at least a bachelor's degree, if not a master's degree, in music and works hard to make sure each of their students succeeds to the best of their ability.

Lessons take place at our school, conveniently located in Downtown Wheaton. We strive to develop a culture of music in the families of our students.

In addition to private lessons, the Jerry Evans School of Music also offers rock band classes, a young kids program for ages 0-5 (Mini Musicians), and a children's choir for ages 6-11 (Young Singers). Our rock shows and classical recitals in the fall and spring semesters provide the students with additional performing opportunities. Teachers are expected to organize their own recitals and coach band classes as needed.

Any Full Time instructors are eligible for health benefits, and 401k enrollment. Details can be given upon inquiry.
