Our Virginia Beach, VA, location is currently accepting applications for the position of Assistant Music Teacher.
We are actively seeking upcoming or recent college graduates with majors in either Music or Education, who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching or music school administration and management. Part-time employment, 4 – 8 hours weekly, available as early as January 2025. Internships are also available, with the option to continue permanently and into a full-time position.
Specific duties for the Assistant Music Teacher include:
- Helping the primary Teacher monitor classes
- Working directly with students (answering questions, evaluating assignments)
- Greeting and interacting with the parents of students
- Tracking student progress
- Assisting with large recitals (200 – 250 persons)
- Light administrative and marketing tasks
Job Requirements:
- Proficiency in music reading and music theory
- Playing proficiency in at least one musical instrument

No prior teaching experience is required, as we offer complete training. We’re looking for “Musicians” and “Educators” who love working with kids, prioritize teaching, and enjoy being creative, spontaneous, and making kids laugh while they learn. Our Teachers and Assistants work and have fun together, and support each other — finding solutions, brainstorming ideas, and filling in for each other when needed. Our students know and work with all of us, so it’s very important to share a common teaching philosophy, work well together, and communicate often. We believe in an orderly, professional environment…but also one that is warm, welcoming and fun. It’s important to us that our Teachers are happy, appreciated, well-paid, and look forward to coming in every day.
