Monkey Rock Music is looking for a larger than life musician/teacher to lead our parent and child music programs.
Monkey Rock Music is a fun, entertaining and creative participatory music program for young children and their adult caregivers. Our primary goal is to instill a love of creating and experiencing music that will last a lifetime. Nothing has a stronger impact on a child than enjoying an activity with the people they love. Monkey Rock Music class participants range in age from 0-6 years. Please take a look at www.monkeyrockmusic.com for more information.
Required:
- Experience working with young children
- High comfort level playing acoustic guitar (see below for details)
- A good singing voice
- Outgoing, personable, nature; comfortable performing in any situation
- Access to a car
- Clean police background check
Preferred:
- Bilingual (French and English)
- ECE/Orff/similar training
- Broad knowledge of children’s songs
- Flexible schedule
Guitar skill: Though the material is very straight forward (mostly two and three chord songs), the demands of the classes require the teacher to be able to play on ‘autopilot’, focusing on the students rather than the guitar.
Compensation: $15/hour training; $30/hour regular classes
Schedule:
- The position requires teaching classes Friday and Saturday mornings, with the possibility of adding more.
- Also required is the availability to perform at parties Saturday afternoons and/or Sundays (pay for parties is as much as $100/45 minute party)
- The option of teaching some weekday afternoons also exists in addition to the above.
TO APPLY: Please send a resume and cover letter to monkeyrockmusic@gmail.com. Be sure to highlight your experience working with young children – this is far more important that your musical ability!
