About The Position

Bach to Rock® Herndon is hiring a Music Instructor, and we're keeping the door wide open on instrument. If you teach guitar, piano/keys, drums, voice, bass, ukulele, strings, brass, woodwinds, songwriting, or production, and you can light up a 7-year-old beginner and a 14-year-old, keep reading. This is W-2, part-time work in a real studio at the WorldGate Centre, with musician-friendly hours, a 401(k), and a steady stream of students who actually want to be there. We handle marketing, scheduling, booking, and billing so you can focus on what you do best: teach, mentor, and play. You'll work in a professional studio. No garage lessons, no driving from one student's living room to the next. You'll have a step-by-step curriculum already built for you, real performance opportunities for your students, and a path to grow into bands, camps, ensembles, and lead roles. We're locally owned and operated by Metrobilly Ventures, Inc., and we run with the support and structure of a nationally recognized brand. Bottom line: this is a team of musicians who teach, and teachers who perform.
