Do you bring out the star in your students? Our motto at Taylor Robinson Music is "Learn to Play From the Heart", and we are looking for private music instructors—especially for drums—who share this philosophy. We strive to make music lessons accessible and affordable to as many people as possible because we believe music education is essential to making the world a better, happier place.

• Teach drum lessons to private students.
• Deliver lessons in students’ homes, your own home or studio, or via webcam.
• Set your own schedule and curriculum/lesson plans.
• Communicate with our office, maintain strong organization, and keep all lessons on time.
• Manage student retention and lesson progress as an independent contractor.
• Travel to students in the Riverwoods, IL area as needed.

• Formal music training is not mandatory, but a degree in music, enrollment in a music program, professional performing experience, or previous teaching experience is required.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently as a contractor.
• Willingness to travel within the Riverwoods, IL area.

Students mostly prefer in‑person lessons; you must wear a mask, sanitize your hands, and practice social distancing when applicable. While some students are comfortable with webcam lessons—constituting a small percentage—most expect the instructor to visit their home or a local studio.
