Digital Music Production Teaching Opportunities
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide digital music production enrichment services for K–12 students. This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities. Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, available technology, software platforms, curriculum, student experience levels, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, project ideas, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.
