Job description

Description:

About Riff Music School

At Riff Music School, we’re redefining music education. Our mission is to make lessons fun-first, song-driven, and inspiring for students of all ages. From private lessons to group classes, band programs, recording studio sessions, and summer camps, we create opportunities for every student to find confidence, creativity, and community through music.


The Role

We’re looking for vibrant, inspiring Music Teachers who are passionate about connecting with students and bringing music to life. This isn’t about rigid drills or strict, classical methods — it’s about teaching fundamentals and skills through the songs students already love, and building confidence through performances, studio sessions, and real-world musical experiences. You do not need to be classically trained or have a music education degree. At Riff, we look for engaging musicians who want to share their passion with others. We teach students using the Riff Lesson Curriculum, which uses a fun, song-based approach to teach music in an adaptable way.

As a Riff teacher, you’ll be more than an instructor — you’ll be a mentor, motivator, and cheerleader for your students’ journey.


What You’ll Do

  • Teach private, semi-private, group, and/or rock band music lessons for students of varying ages and skill levels. In addition to music lessons and performance band coaching, Riff Music School also teaches songwriting, audio engineering, music production, and band management.
  • Inspire students by teaching through the music they love, while weaving in the fundamentals of technique, theory, and creativity.
  • Support students in preparing for performances and recording opportunities that are built into the Riff experience. Teacher experience in performance and studio recording is not required.
  • Create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel supported, motivated, and excited to learn.
  • Collaborate with fellow teachers and staff to deliver a consistent, high-quality learning experience.
  • Contribute ideas and energy to band programs, camps, and special events when applicable.
  • Model Riff’s core values: People First, Joy in Our Lessons, Kindness Always, Connecting Community, and Growth Without Limits.

Why Join Riff

  • Be part of a mission-driven, student-focused music school that’s reshaping how lessons are taught.
  • Work in a modern, inspiring space with professional-grade instruments and recording studio access.
  • Collaborate with a supportive team of passionate musicians and educators.
  • Flexible scheduling options and teaching hours.
  • The chance to make a lasting impact on students’ lives through music.

Job Type: Part-time

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Flexible schedule



Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

  • Proficiency on at least one core instrument or skill (guitar, piano, drums, bass, voice, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, orchestral strings, brass, woodwind, songwriting, audio engineering, music production, band management). The ability to teach multiple instruments is a plus.
  • Teaching experience preferred, but not required — energy, passion, and connection matter most. Our onboarding process builds proficient music teachers.
  • Ability to adapt to different learning styles, ages, and musical interests.
  • Strong communication skills and a student-first mindset, strong organizational skills.
  • A growth-oriented attitude with a desire to continue developing as a teacher and musician.
