EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC EDUCATOR
Bach to Rock Herndon | $17โ$25/hr | Mornings, afternoons, and Saturdaysย
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
YOU LOVE TEACHING YOUNG CHILDREN
You light up around three-year-olds. You know how to read a room of toddlers. You've spent enough time with kids ages 1โ7 to know what works (movement, repetition, story, song) and what doesn't (sitting still, complex instructions, anything longer than 5 minutes).ย
You also have musical skills; maybe formal training, maybe years of singing in choir, maybe self-taught piano or guitar; and you've been looking for a teaching role that lets you actually use them.
That role exists at Bach to Rock Herndon.
โโโ WHAT YOU'LL TEACH โโโ
We run four early childhood music programs at our Herndon studio:
๐ ROCK N ROLL (ages 1โ3): A 45-minute parent-and-child music class. Sing-alongs, story time, simple instruments, movement. Caregivers stay in the room.
๐ ROCK CITYยฎ (ages 3โ5): Our preschool group class. 45 minutes of storytelling-based music exploration where each musical concept (loud/soft, fast/slow, high/low) is connected to a children's story.
๐ KIDS N KEYS (ages 5โ7): A 45-minute group piano class for up to five kids. Basic finger placement, simple melodies, and early music theory through familiar songs.
๐ FUN WITH MUSIC (ages 6โ7): A 45-minute exploratory class where early elementary kids try piano, guitar, percussion, ukulele, and voice in a low-pressure social setting.
You'll teach 4 to 8 of these classes per week based on your availability and class enrollment. We'll start you in the program(s) you're most comfortable with and grow your assignments from there.
โโโ WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR โโโ
You probably check most of these boxes:
๐ถ Direct, hands-on experience teaching or leading children ages 1โ7. Preschool, daycare, music classes, summer camp, after-school programs, parent-and-child classes, or experience as a parent/caregiver. The more direct, the better.
๐น Functional music skills. You can play piano OR guitar/ukulele well enough to accompany simple children's songs, AND you can sing in tune with confidence in front of a group.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง Comfort with parents in the room (Rock n Roll classes always have parents present. Other classes have parents picking up and dropping off).
๐ Patience that doesn't run out, warmth that doesn't fake, energy that lasts 45 minutes.
๐ Reliable transportation to our Herndon studio (WorldGate Centre).
โ 18+, willing to pass a background check, authorized to work in the U.S.
