Familiarity with specialized tools, repair techniques, and sometimes certifications from organizations like NAPBIRT are typically used in this role.

Collaborating with other technicians and maintaining clear communication with customers also helps in providing accurate timelines and ensuring high-quality repairs.

What are musical instruments?

Musical instruments are devices created or adapted to produce musical sounds. They can be classified into various families, such as strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and keyboards, based on how they produce sound. People use musical instruments to perform, compose, and enjoy music across a wide range of genres and cultures. Learning to play an instrument can enhance creativity, improve cognitive abilities, and bring joy to both the player and the audience.

Both roles are integral to the music industry, but they serve different functions: one is a tool, the other a profession focused on education and skill development.

We take care of all the administrative work so you can do what you do best: inspire learning and creating the next generation of musicians!

  • Teach music lessons to students of varying ages and skill levels.
  • Build positive relationships with students and parents through regular communication, goal-setting, and progress updates.

About Music & Arts

Music & Arts embodies the world of creativity and music by encouraging our teammates to find their own individual sound. We strive to create lifelong musicians and make a difference in the world by enabling musicians and non-musicians alike to experience the almost indescribable happiness that comes from playing an instrument. We believe in putting our customers first, engaging with respect and integrity and fulfilling our mission with passion.
The first Music & Arts was located in a small house in Bethesda, MD and run by founder Benjamin O'Brien. When Music & Arts opened its doors in 1952, we offered printed music, music lessons, dance lessons, and art supplies. Ben decided shortly after opening his business that he wanted to focus on music to better serve his customers -- a decision that remains intact to this day.
Since the 1990's, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through organic growth and a series of acquisitions and mergers with other music dealers. In 2005, Music & Arts joined forces with American Music to become the largest band and orchestra instrument retailer in the United States. Based in Frederick, MD, Music & Arts is now part of the Guitar Center enterprise and comprises 225+ retail stores, 200+ educational representatives, and 250+ affiliate locations.

Why Music & Arts? Here's just some of the rewards:

For our employees who are musicians we offer the unique opportunity of gig leave--take time off to share your music with the world and return to your job after your tour! Music & Arts offers robust benefits and perks, including 401K plus company match, employee discount program, and more.

The job posting is not necessarily reflective of actual compensation that may be earned, nor a promise of any specific pay for any specific employee, which is always dependent on actual experience, education, and other factors.
