  • Opportunity for advancement
  • Training & development

Soundcheck Rock Academy is looking for a Drum Instructor/Band Manager. Candidates should be passionate musicians who love music and working with people of all ages, especially children, and teens. We aren’t the typical lesson studio, so we’re not looking for the typical music instructor. Our students do amazing things, and that starts with amazing people sharing their love of music in an amazing environment.
We are adding instructors, and band managers to our team who specialize in:
- Drum teacher/Instructor
- Band Manager teacher/instructor
- Multi-instrumentalists are highly encouraged
We are looking for someone who believes in the future of music and passing the love of music through themselves and into our next generation of creators and musicians. Is music all you think about? You are perfect. Our ideal candidate is also a multi-instrumentalist with at least basic skills on one or more of the instruments we teach (guitar, bass, drums, keys, voice), and comfortable leading band rehearsals.
People like us:
  • Must be generous with the high-fives, and understand that your contribution is part of creating something greater than yourself!
  • You have to know your stuff musically but also have an amazing attitude.
  • Our instructors are equal parts rock star, spirit guide, zen master, and motivational speaker.
If this sounds like you, and you’re passionate about mentoring the next generation of musicians, this might be the place for you.
Absolute musts from prospects:
  • Be passionate about music and share your knowledge/experience
  • Be knowledgeable about music, and creative and flexible in teaching methods
  • Be comfortable working with both kids and adults
  • Have strong communication skills
  • Be prompt and mindful of the schedule
  • Have a clean record (we WILL do a background check)
  • be able to work in a fast-paced environment
  • able to lift 30 lbs
  • willing to be a team player
Prior teaching experience is helpful, but not necessary if you are otherwise a strong candidate.
