Music Instructor (Band / Instruments) Opportunities
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide band and instrumental music 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, ensemble size, available instruments, curriculum, rehearsal space, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, repertoire ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.
