Performing Arts Instructor: Music, Theater, Visual Arts

Location: Mooresville, North Carolina | On-Site | Part-Time

We’ve been teaching music, art, and theater to students of all ages for over 25 years, and we’re growing. Our studio is based in a community that keeps expanding — new families moving in, more students looking for quality instruction — and we need talented instructors to keep up with the demand.

The role

You come in, you teach. That’s the focus. Our full-time office staff handles marketing, student booking, scheduling, billing, and policy questions so you don’t have to. You show up prepared to teach; we handle everything else.

Instructors typically work afternoons, evenings, and weekends — a schedule that works well for those who teach as a complement to other work or who prefer a flexible part-time arrangement.

What you’ll do

– Teach private lessons and group classes in your area(s) of expertise- Instruct students of varying ages and skill levels, from beginners to more advanced learners- Build lesson plans suited to each student’s goals and pace- Maintain a consistent, encouraging learning environment- Coordinate with office staff on scheduling and student progress as needed

Instruments and disciplines we’re hiring for

We’re looking for instructors across a range of disciplines, including:

– Piano- Voice- Guitar- Violin- Drums- Visual Arts- Theater- And more — if you have a specialty not listed, we want to hear from you

About you

– Experience teaching your instrument or discipline, formally or informally- Comfortable working with students of all ages — kids, teens, adults- Reliable and consistent; students and families count on you- Good at adapting your teaching style to different learners- A genuine interest in helping students grow

Nice to have

– Degree or formal training in music, fine arts, theater, or music education- Experience running group classes in addition to private lessons- Familiarity with recital or performance preparation

What we offer

– A established, well-run studio with a loyal and growing student base- Full back-office support — you focus on teaching, not admin- Flexible part-time scheduling built around afternoons, evenings, and weekends- A welcoming, family-oriented community
