Music Educator

Join The Movement Dance Experience

The Movement Dance Experience is expanding—and we're excited to launch a new Music Program to complement our thriving arts and dance community. We're looking for an outstanding Music Educator who can guide students through music theory, lead group classes, and provide private instruction in one or more instruments.

This is more than a teaching position. It's an opportunity to shape confident young musicians, nurture creativity, and build a program that becomes a cornerstone of our studio's mission.

If you want to make an impact, take ownership of your craft, and be part of a team that values excellence, structure, and heart — we'd love to meet you.

If you're looking for a temporary gig or a filler job, this may not be the right fit. We're searching for someone committed to growth, consistency, leadership, and giving their best to our students.

This position requires consistent availability during:

• Monday–Thursday: 3:00 PM–8:00 PM
• Thursday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
• Friday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
• Saturday: 9:00 AM–2:00 PM

Applicants must be able to commit to these hours.

Music classes and private lessons will be scheduled within this window.

Teachers will not be scheduled for every hour listed, however:

• Applicants must have open, consistent availability during these hours.
• The specific class schedule will be assigned based on program needs and may change or grow seasonally.
• Applicants with recurring conflicts during these times (other jobs, weekly rehearsals or classes, etc.) are not a fit for this position.
