About This Role

This role is for teachers who want to be placed with students booked through Jinny's Music Studio and paid for booked teaching hours — different from our Teacher Partner Program, which is for teachers who bring their own students and rent our studio space.

You'll provide individualized instruction, plan and deliver lessons that build strong foundations in technique, theory, and performance, and adapt your teaching to each student's goals and level. Day-to-day, that includes preparing lesson materials, tracking student progress, communicating with families or adult students, and supporting recital or recording opportunities hosted by the studio.

This is a hybrid role:

Teaching and studio activities happen on-site in San Jose, with some lesson prep, admin, and limited remote instruction done from home.

Responsibilities

Teach private lessons to students booked through Jinny's Music Studio
Provide a professional, encouraging, and organized lesson experience
Communicate clearly with students, parents, and studio management
Arrive on time and be prepared for scheduled lessons
Support student progress, recital preparation, auditions, and musical development
Maintain a positive, professional presence in the studio
Follow studio scheduling, attendance, and communication policies

Ideal Candidate

Experience teaching private music lessons
Comfortable working with children, teens, and/or adult students
Reliable, punctual, and professional
Able to commit to regular weekly teaching availability
Flexible Availability based on Student Needs (Prefer M-Th)
A background in classical music, performance, pedagogy, or music education
Excited to be part of a growing music education community

Schedule & Compensation

Job Type: Part-Time, Hourly
Compensation: Hourly based on lessons; more teaching hours become available as enrollment grows

This is a good fit for teachers who want to grow consistent teaching hours without renting space, cleaning or maintaining the business, or managing their own student acquisition. We are very new and are hoping to find teachers who want to build a music community together.
