Do You Believe That Every Child is Born Musical?

If you have a heart for little ones and a song in your soul, we have the perfect stage for you.

Music Speaks Studio is looking for an enthusiastic Early Childhood Music Teacher to lead our youngest "Mini Musicians" (ages 6 months to 6 years) in South San Diego. We aren’t just looking for an instructor; we’re looking for someone who understands that a lifelong love of music begins with a giggle, a drum beat, and a dance.

Why This Role is Special

At Music Speaks, our creative space and lesson rooms become a playground for sound. You will guide babies, toddlers, and young children through their very first musical experiences. It is high-energy, high-impact, and incredibly rewarding work.

What We Offer You

Paid Specialized Training: We pay you to learn our specific curriculum and "Mini Musician" teaching methodologies. No prior teaching experience? If you have the talent and the heart, we handle the rest.
A Place to Belong: Join a "musical tribe" that celebrates community with unique events like Musical Moms’ Night and Bring-a-Buddy Week.
Room to Grow: Start part-time with consistent peak hours. Opportunities for full-time roles are available as our program expands.
Perks & Benefits: Consistent scheduling, accumulative Paid Time Off (PTO), professional development assistance, and a staff referral program.
401k Matching Program: We invest in your future. Take advantage of our retirement matching program to help build your long-term financial security

The Ideal Candidate

Loves Young Children: You understand that teaching a 3-year-old is about movement, play, and joy just as much as rhythm.
Versatile Musician: Ideally, you have strong skills in at least two areas (such as Piano, Voice, Guitar, or Drums) to help transition students as they grow.
Availability: Available for our "Peak Joy" hours—afternoons, evenings, and weekends when our families are most active.
Inclusive & Adaptive Educator: The ideal candidate will also be working with special needs and neuro-diverse musicians. You have a patient, welcoming approach and can seamlessly adapt lessons to ensure every child feels successful and supported.

Job Requirements

Education: High school diploma or equivalent (Required).
Music Experience: 3 years of taking music lessons (Preferred).
Teaching Experience: 1 year of teaching experience (Preferred, but we will train the right person).
Commute: Ability to reliably commute to San Diego, CA 92154 (Required).

Join our Musical Family!

Help us create an environment where music is shared, not just taught. We can’t wait to see the energy you’ll bring to our studio!

To Apply: Email your resume and a brief note about why you’re passionate about early childhood music to [email protected] with “Share Music” in the subject line.
