About Play On Philly 

Play On Philly (POP) is a non-profit organization that provides daily, after-school music instruction to over 300 K-12 students. We work in communities that historically have had little or no access to formal music education. 


POP is always looking for passionate, committed, and social justice minded music educators! Although there may not be a current opening that fits your experience, as our programming continues to grow, so does the need for qualified Teaching Artists. Applying to this position allows us to start the conversation for future positions and expand our bench of substitutes who may be available on an as-needed basis.


Job Description

Teaching Artists (TA) work collaboratively and independently to ensure students are making steady progress on their instruments, music literacy skills, and repertoire and can manage their class to create a safe, welcoming, and rigorous environment in their classrooms and at their Music Center, at-large.
