About The Position

The Boston School of Music Arts, a well-established area music school with two locations, is hiring an additional qualified Trumpet Instructor, beginning in August. This is an in-school (not in-home or online-only) position. The successful candidate will be a W2 employee, not an independent contractor. The Boston School of Music Arts is a brand new version of an established Boston music education and performance company. We have been delivering music lessons and performance in Boston since 2010. We have two locations in Boston and both are very conveniently located near public transportation and plenty of free parking in both locations. The area contains several restaurants, shops and other conveniences, in an eclectic, culturally rich area of Boston. You can be part of a highly diverse and vibrant community, with a strong curriculum. We are a performance-oriented school. This means that although we do prepare for auditions and examinations, our main focus is to teach performance confidence and competence, in addition to music reading and writing skills, and above all, creative expression through music. About 92% of our students are between 3 and 16 years old, and some are part of our Professional Department. The adults who are learning music with us are either absolute beginners, aspiring pros, or professional musicians. We realize that some of our students may not become professional musicians. For those students, we strive to provide a fun but educational environment with well organized administration and excellent teachers and a warm environment that is conducive to learning. For those who are looking for more, we have that, too.
