Full Job Description
About Us
Innovative Piano & Arts (IPAS) is a music teaching studio offering both online and in-person lessons. Our goal is to make high-quality music education accessible while pairing students with instructors who are skilled, professional, and passionate about helping students grow. Our instructors are simply the best at what they do.
Job Summary
We are currently looking for in-person instructors who can teach piano, voice, and/or guitar in person in your local area. This is a great opportunity for experienced, passionate music instructors who want consistent students without having to run the business side of teaching.
Unlike other teaching options, we don’t leave you to find students, manage scheduling, or collect payments. Our studio provides the systems and support—you focus on being a great teacher.
Benefits of Working With Us
A full-service studio staff handles payments, scheduling, and student support.
IPAS provides marketing and enrollment to bring you students.
You teach locally from your approved home studio or an approved partner location (no “random travel” expectations unless agreed in writing).
You get the support of a studio team while still teaching with flexibility.
Qualifications and Skills
Preferred Experience
An undergraduate degree in music from an accredited college/university or
1+ years of successful teaching experience with kids and adults.
Required Skills
Strong understanding of music theory and performance, with the ability to create thoughtful, custom lesson plans for each student based on their goals and interests.
An amazing attitude, passion for teaching, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, varying situations.
A desire to build long-term relationships with your students and with our community.
Reliable communication and professionalism with parents and IPAS staff.
