Violin Instructor - Powell, Ohio

We respond to each application within a week and typically in 24 hours or less!!! We are Columbus Ohio's largest music school, with locations in Lewis Center, Powell, Dublin and Hilliard Ohio. We help children foster their creativity, confidence and grit through exceptional music instruction. We envision a community where all children have access to music education and all of the benefits that come with it.

If you are passionate about music and working with young people then we are the school for you! We have an immediate need for violin and viola teachers. However, we are currently accepting resumes for all instruments, and we encourage applicants to apply even if we don’t have an opening in their area of expertise at the moment. We have positions open at all four of our locations.

Preference is given to instructors that teach multiple instruments.

• University training or extensive performance ability
• Experience teaching private music lessons to children and adults
• Comfortable teaching a variety of styles and genres
• Planning to remain in the area and commit to this position for at least a few years

All Academy instructors are paid a competitive hourly rate which takes into consideration all of the administrative work, resources and marketing provided by the academy. We opened our first location in Powell in 2008, our 2nd location in Lewis Center in 2017, our third location in Hilliard in 2020 and our Dublin location in 2022. We currently have over 1,100 weekly private lesson students and 70+ instructors.

Over the course of the year, students can move or quit. This can leave a teacher with gaps or holes in their schedule. Most students register and start lessons in September. Most music schools only advertise in late August and September for new students. At our school we spend a lot of money on advertising and marketing year round to keep our teacher’s schedules as full as possible.

Each year we spend well over $60,000 on advertising in newspapers, online, direct mail, community publications and other media to constantly attract new students. We are continually registering new students for our private music lessons even during typically slower registration months like May or June. Our instructors across the board maintain schedules each day that are 80-95% full.

At all of our locations we have full time front desk administrators to handle all of the “details” of teaching. From scheduling to collecting fees or arranging an accompanist for recitals, these details are handled by our administrators not the teacher. This means the teacher is free to focus on teaching and not get bogged down by administration. Many teachers discount just how important it is to have full-time office staff handling the customer service side of the business.

We have multiple professional office staff working so that you will never have to deal with things like rescheduling, billing or recital planning!

Teachers are paid for all late cancellations, trial lessons and no shows. If a student does not pay for their lessons or has an uncollectible debt, the teacher is still paid. Our priority for our teachers is to make sure that your time is not abused and your teaching day can be as productive as possible.

There is no mandated school-wide curriculum or set of method books. Unlike many other music schools or stores, we are not looking to sell any merchandise or books. (any music that we have in stock is sold through a third party). We trust our teachers to be experts in their…
