Teaching Music Can Be Challenging
On Your Own
Being a teacher is incredibly rewarding, especially when you see your students progressing and
achieving things they never thought possible. But it can also be draining at times and lead to
boredom, stagnation, or even burnout. Have you worked as a music instructor in the past and found
yourself saying or thinking any of the following?
achieving things they never thought possible. But it can also be draining at times and lead to
boredom, stagnation, or even burnout. Have you worked as a music instructor in the past and found
yourself saying or thinking any of the following?
- “Teaching is great, but I wish I had opportunities for professional and self-development so that I could continually improve my craft.”
- “I feel so alone sometimes, and uncertain about whether I’m giving my students everything they need to progress. Sometimes it’s hard to see the bigger picture.”
- “I love to teach, but I tire of the administrative stuff, like collecting money and enforcing policies.”
- “I wish I didn’t have to spend so much of my own time, outside of lessons, to keep things running.”
- “If only I had the resources to provide all the opportunities my students need to reach their potential.”
- “I wish it wasn’t so much work to create performance opportunities for my students.”
- “I know how valuable music theory would be to my students, but I just don’t have time to teach it.”
- “I became a music teacher because of my passion for sharing the joy of music- but it’s hard to find students, especially the good ones.”
- “My students are working so hard. If only I had access to fine instruments and better facilities so I could help take their music education to the next level!”
- “What I would give to work with students who really wanted to be there!”
- “I just got my degree and want to start teaching, but I really wish I could learn from the best to launch my career.”

Curious About the Types

If you’re a highly-trained musician with teaching experience, there are two main teaching formats for
you to engage in. We offer a preparatory music program for young children as well as private lessons

you to engage in. We offer a preparatory music program for young children as well as private lessons
in piano, violin, and voice.
Preparatory Music Program
This program is meant to introduce young children (aged 6 months to 10 years) to music. Classes are taught in a group format and children are accompanied by an adult. To be successful in this setting, you need to be proficient with piano, have a good singing voice, have excellent classroom management skills, and be skilled at working with young kids. To teach in this program, you need to have a music degree or a very high level of equivalent experience.
Private Music Program
To be a private instructor, you need to have attained an extremely high level of mastery of your instrument, have a strong track record of teaching, and preferably be university or conservatory-trained.
We Believe in a Mutually
Beneficial Partnership
With Our Instructors
The success of our music programs is partly a reflection of our exceptional instructors. That’s why we invest heavily in our faculty. When you become an employee at Art City, we are fully committed to your professional growth.
