Job description

Guitar Teacher / Instructor (Part-Time)
School of Rock Tucson  •  Tucson, AZ (In-Person)  •  Electric, Acoustic & Rock Guitar Lessons
Pay: $18–$22/hour  |  W-2 Employee  |  Part-Time  |  Guitar Teacher / Guitar Instructor

About the Role
School of Rock Tucson is looking for a passionate Guitar Teacher and instructor to inspire the next generation of players and performers. We’re a performance-driven music school where students play real shows at real Tucson venues — Hotel Congress, the 4th Ave Street Fair, St. Philip’s Plaza, La Rosa Tucson, Monterey Court, and the Tucson Jazz Festival.
Our mission is to honor each student’s musical journey with joy, passion, and respect — and to grow Tucson’s live music scene for generations to come. If you live and breathe guitar and love sharing that with others, this is the gig for you.

Unlike most music teaching jobs, you’re hired as a W-2 employee — not a 1099 contractor. We handle payroll taxes, you’re covered by workers’ comp, and you’re eligible for unemployment insurance. You also earn up to 40 hours of Arizona-mandated paid sick time per year. When your lesson roster has gaps, we connect you with rehearsal support or student engagement work so your time on shift stays purposeful and paid.

Responsibilities
•       One-on-one guitar instruction for students of all ages and skill levels
•       Personalized lesson plans covering technique, theory, and song-based learning
•       Teach chords, scales, improvisation, electric and acoustic styles
•       Prepare students for live performances and shows
•       Track progress and communicate with parents and staff
•       Support rehearsals, camps, and band programs as needed

Requirements
•       Strong guitar proficiency with solid music theory and technique knowledge
•       Teaching experience preferred (private lessons, band coaching, group instruction, etc.)
•       Comfortable across styles — rock, blues, classic rock, acoustic, and beyond
•       Works well with children, teens, and adults of all skill levels
•       Reliable, punctual, and a collaborative team player
•       Performance experience a plus; additional instruments (bass, keys, vocals) a bonus

Benefits
•       W-2 employment: payroll tax match, workers’ comp, unemployment eligibility
•       Up to 40 hours Arizona-mandated paid sick time per year
•       GearSelect employee gear discount program
•       Growth path: assistant show director, show director, and music director skill sets
•       Flexible scheduling and a supportive, music-first team culture
