Location: Springfield, OH (schools are across central and southwest Ohio)

Position: Music Education Specialist (Outside Sales)

Territory: Central & Southwest Ohio

Starting Pay: base salary + uncapped commission (between $55,000 - $85,000+/yr)

Most reps fall within this range, with additional upside for top performers who focus on building strong middle school programs and growing long-term relationships, not one-time sales.

For over 70 years, Kincaid’s Music has helped people begin and advance in instrumental music.

We partner with band and orchestra directors to help their students succeed — from first rentals to advanced instruments and repairs.

Our job is simple:

Set up musicians for success.

This role is often called a road rep
.

At Kincaid’s, you’re more than that.

You are a trusted partner to music educators — helping their programs grow, their students succeed, and their lives get easier.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk job.

You’ll spend your time in schools, working directly with directors, students, and parents.

• Visit band and orchestra programs across your territory
• Build strong relationships with music educators
• Help run instrument fittings and parent/rental nights
• Guide students into the right instruments
• Support step-up and upgrade conversations
• Coordinate repairs and solve problems quickly
• Maintain and grow existing school partnerships
• Prospect and add new school accounts

When something breaks or goes wrong,
you’re the person they call — and you make it right.

A great Music Education Specialist:

• Becomes a trusted partner to music educators
• Helps directors grow their programs
• Ensures students have the right tools to succeed
• Solves problems quickly and professionally
• Communicates clearly and consistently

When this happens, directors stop seeing you as a vendor.

They see you as part of their team.

You’ll do well here if you:

• Have a background in band or orchestra
• Enjoy building relationships and being around people
• Are organized, dependable, and self-driven
• Can manage your own schedule and territory

This role is a strong fit for:

• Former band/orchestra students
• Music education majors or educators
• Music retail professionals
• Performers who enjoy working with people

If band or orchestra was a meaningful part of your life, this is a chance to stay connected and make an impact.

• Make a real impact on students and music programs
• Work independently with a flexible schedule
• Build long-term relationships in your community
• Be part of a team that truly loves musicians

At Kincaid’s Music we operate by six core values:

• We Love Musicians
• Keep It Simple
• Proudly Over communicate
• We All Make Decisions & Own Our Results
• Know What Others Don’t, Do What Others Won’t
• We Row Together
