Concorde Education • Winter Haven, FL

About The Position

Concorde Education partners with schools and educational organizations to provide hands-on enrichment for K–12 students. The company seeks individuals with experience in digital music, audio production, beat-making, recording, or related creative technologies to lead interactive enrichment programs at local partner schools. Applicants may come from backgrounds such as music production, audio engineering, recording, performance, composition, DJing, education, or related creative work. Formal teaching certification is not required; practical experience, enthusiasm, reliability, and the ability to foster a positive learning environment are valued.

Selected independent contractors may lead in-person programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. Depending on the assignment, instruction may cover digital audio workstations, beat-making, music composition, recording, audio editing, and original music and audio projects. Programs encourage creativity, critical thinking, technical problem-solving, collaboration, listening, and self-expression through age-appropriate activities. Assignment details, student age groups, program content, schedules, and duration vary by partner-school needs.

Opportunities are typically 1–4 instructional hours per week, primarily after school, and programs generally last approximately 8–10 weeks. Start dates are rolling throughout the school year. Compensation starts at $50+ per completed instructional hour, with the rate depending on the assignment and other stated factors. These are potential independent-contractor assignments, not employee positions; availability and hours are not guaranteed.
