Childcare musician instructor

Overview

Lead engaging music experiences for young children through singing, movement, and hands-on exploration of musical instruments. You’ll plan age-appropriate lessons, create a welcoming classroom, and adapt activities to support different learning and developmental needs. This role suits an energetic educator who enjoys combining music with creative arts instruction. This is one day a week for one hour. I would recommend prioritizing beginner flute and piano (keyboard) lessons for the children, with an emphasis on learning to read music, understand rhythm, and play familiar songs.
