Music Teachers Needed for Our Growing Academy

We are currently looking for Voice, Guitar, Violin and Piano teachers! We are currently teaching in Gainesville, Orlando and Jacksonville, FL.

We are looking for a teaching candidate who is ready to join our amazing team of passionate teachers and continue to help us grow as our enrollment climbs (over 800 students this year!) We are a group of teachers who work one-on-one with our students and have great support from our Director regarding training, administration, and scheduling.

Shining Star Academy is a music academy that offers in-home lessons in Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Orlando, FL and does not have an office/studio space. We drive to our student’s houses for weekly lessons (driving time is paid as well!).

Hours are flexible to work with the teacher’s availability and total hours desired to work. Pay is consistent, as we require all lessons paid even if the student cannot be present for a lesson. This is the most wonderful academy to work at, as it is run by a teacher who knows what we teachers need to do our jobs well and be able to continue in this profession.

We focus on the fundamental and technical ability of our students, but we also look for opportunities to spark joy in the student in music. There is always a way to find the passion in a student for their instrument, and we seek that out as teachers here. Our regular teacher meetings and company materials make growing as a teacher so easy, becoming better at what we do all the time.

We are looking for positive teachers to join us in this dynamic traveling work environment, serving our community's youth. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
