School of Rock Fayetteville and School of Rock Bentonville are hiring a part-time vocal instructor. Students learn their instrument, rehearse with a band and play real shows. You'll help them get from their first lesson to the stage.

If you play well, explain things clearly and enjoy working with kids and teenagers, we want to hear from you. Teaching experience is welcome, and we will train the right musician. College students with a reliable weekly schedule are welcome to apply.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Teach weekly private vocal lessons using the School of Rock Method. Help beginners build confidence and healthy singing habits, then work on the songs they need for their show.

Help vocal students find their entrance, listen to the band, use a microphone, and prepare for rehearsals and live performances. Basic piano or guitar accompaniment is a plus.

Write a short note after each lesson so families and band directors know what to work on. Be friendly with parents and help the team when a lesson cancels. Over time, there may be opportunities to support rehearsals or direct a show.

THE SCHEDULE

Lessons and rehearsals run Sunday through Thursday. Our greatest need is on weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Tell us every hour you can teach and whether you prefer Fayetteville, Bentonville or both. This is an in-person role.

Students keep the same weekly lesson time for a season, usually about 3 to 5 months. We need you to commit to a consistent schedule for the full season.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You can teach healthy vocal habits, breath support, pitch, rhythm and microphone technique. You can help students find a comfortable range, learn harmonies, and sing with a band without pushing beyond their voice.

You are patient with beginners and comfortable working with students roughly ages 7 to 18, plus some adults. Performance, ensemble, church, studio and private teaching experience can all be relevant. A second instrument is a plus; tell us what else you play.

You must be able to pass the required background check and follow School of Rock's Code of Conduct and safety and supervision policies when working with minors.

WHY TEACH HERE

You get to hear something you taught in a lesson come together at rehearsal and on stage. Use the School of Rock Method, lesson materials and Method App, and work alongside other musicians. We provide training for the right teacher.

HOW TO APPLY

Apply through this posting and include your availability and school preference. A resume is optional. If you already have a playing or performance clip, you can add a YouTube link (unlisted is fine) or a Google Drive link. A short phone-recorded introduction is fine too. Skipping the video will not count against you.

If it looks like a fit, we'll ask for a short teaching demo before your interview: a couple of minutes showing how you would help a 12-year-old coming to their first singing lesson. Phone quality is fine.
