Summary of Position

As a Private Music Instructor at Mills College at Northeastern University, you will work with one or multiple students individually in teaching them repertoire or techniques on a particular instrument, in voice, or in composition. Instructors in music are active members in the music community in the Bay Area, nationally, or even worldwide.

• Coordinate with the Unit Administrator to schedule performances.
  
• Find scores and other classroom materials for student's study in the Library or other musical resources.
  

Additional Duties and Responsibilities

• Music Instruction is not covered by students' tuition. Therefore, instructors must provide an hourly rate (typically between $90 to $125) which students must pay for each semester. Students have the opportunity to audition for a lesson scholarship to cover some or all of the cost of instruction fees.
  
• You must be available to serve as a member on the audition committee for lesson scholarships held during the first week of the semester (usually end of August/beginning of September or end of January/beginning of February).
  

Preferred Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Music Performance, Composition, Technology or equivalent professional experience in Music.

Broad knowledge of different musical styles including but not limited to classical western music, experimental music, jazz, pop, improvisation.

If the applicant has expertise in a specific family of music (e.g., stringed instruments, keyboard, woodwinds), they will be able to teach multiple instruments. For example, if you know clarinet, it would be helpful to also have expertise in bass clarinet, or saxophone to be able to meet the interests of many students.
