Monkey Rock Music is Hiring!
Monkey Rock Music is looking for a larger than life musician/teacher to lead our parent and child music programs.
Monkey Rock Music is a fun, entertaining and creative participatory music program for young children and their adult caregivers. Our primary goal is to instil a love of creating and experiencing music that will last a lifetime. Nothing has a stronger impact on a child than enjoying an activity with the people they love. Monkey Rock Music class participants range in age from 0-4 years.
Required:
- Experience working with young children
- High comfort level playing acoustic guitar (see below for details)
- A good singing voice
- Outgoing, personable nature; comfortable performing in any situation
- Clean police background check
- Access to a car
Preferred:
- ECE/Orff/similar training
- Broad knowledge of children’s songs
- Flexible schedule
- Bilingual (French and English)
Guitar skill: Though the material is very straight forward (mostly two and three chord songs), the demands of the classes require the teacher to be able to play on ‘autopilot’, focusing on the students rather than the guitar.
Compensation: $15/hour training; $30/hour regular classes
Schedule:
- The position requires teaching classes 2-3 weekday mornings, and Saturday mornings, with the possibility of adding more.
- Also required is the availability to perform at parties Saturday afternoons and/or Sundays (pay for parties is as much as $100/45 minute party)
- The option of teaching some weekday afternoons also exists in addition to the above.
TO APPLY: Please send a resume and cover letter to info@monkeyrockmusic.com.
Be sure to highlight your experience working with young children – this is far more important that your musical ability!
