The Process
Here’s a quick overview of the hiring process so you know what to expect.
- SUBMIT AN APPLICATION
Let us know a little bit about you, the instruments you teach, and your schedule. (Optionally, this is where you can point us to some videos of you performing too.) - INTERVIEW
Meet online or at the school (your choice) for an interview. Mostly situation questions – we provide you with a situation and you let us know what actions you would take. - TENTATIVE OFFER
If you think we’re a good fit for you and vice-versa, we’ll formally offer you the position. There’s a bit more paperwork, background check, etc. at this point. - GET STARTED!
We’ll go over the systems we use, answer any questions (we’re always available to answer questions), and then it’s time to start teaching some lessons!
