Band Teacher (Part Time, After School, In-Person)
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Band Teacher to facilitate a short-format after-school band enrichment course for students (grade band varies by assignment). This course supports students in developing foundational musicianship, ensemble skills, and performance confidence through structured rehearsals and group music-making. Instruction may serve beginner musicians, mixed-experience ensembles, or instrument-section focused groups depending on the site’s needs and available instruments. The Band Teacher will establish clear routines for rehearsal, instrument care, and collaboration. Instruction should be inclusive, appropriately scaffolded, and aligned with school expectations and site policies. The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student readiness and site logistics. Students will learn core band skills such as posture and playing technique, instrument care, reading basic notation, rhythm and counting, listening across the ensemble, following a conductor, and performing as a group. Depending on the site, instruction may include sectionals, beginner method work, ensemble repertoire development, and preparation for a culminating performance or showcase.
