Job description

Spend your afternoons helping children explore, learn and grow through music. You’ll witness those quiet little breakthroughs: a new note discovered, a tricky rhythm finally mastered, a proud smile after a finished song, and you’ll know YOU helped make it happen.
This position is a strong match if you:

  • Have real experience working with young children and enjoy helping them explore, create, and express themselves
  • Studied piano with a teacher and have a solid understanding of music theory and technique
  • Feel excited about the idea of teaching and have a natural desire to see others grow
  • Are open to learning, willing to be coached, and appreciate thoughtful feedback
  • Value patience, flexibility and connection in your approach to children
  • Are organized, dependable and comfortable working independently
  • Have your own transportation
  • Are available on weekday afternoons during after school hours
  • Live in or near Bellevue, Kirkland, or Redmond
  • Can commit to teaching for at least one year
Class Description

Classes are small (maximum of 6 students) and full of energy, held at schools or community centers in your neighborhood. Students range from preschool through elementary age, grouped by age and ability. Every child in the room has signed up because they want to be there, and that makes all the difference. Lessons are joyful, interactive and thoughtfully paced to match each child’s growth.
The curriculum is organized and designed especially for young beginners. You’ll receive hands-on training on how to guide each age group, how to teach piano in a group setting, and how to plan fun, motivating lessons that keep children engaged and progressing. Training happens both in and out of the classroom, with continued support to help you grow, refine your teaching skills, and stay connected to a team of teachers that shares your goals.
What you’ll do in this role:
  • Teach small group piano classes for children
  • Plan each class using provided lesson outlines, objectives, and materials
  • Create an engaging, supportive environment where children enjoy learning
  • Work independently in the classroom, while being part of a team that shares ideas, celebrates progress, and supports one another
  • Represent Move Over Mozart with care, reliability and enthusiasm
  • Continue growing through training, mentorship and support from the studio
