As a Singing Teacher, you’ll work with three age groups throughout the day: Ages 6–9, Ages 10–12, Ages 13+, in a large group ensemble class format. You’ll be responsible for preparing and implementing lesson plans that engage a large group of students, appropriate to their age group and engaging a variety of different skill levels. At various times during throughout the year you may be given specific materials to teach and to prepare your students for a showcase performance, recital or musical theatre performance.
Each week, students rotate between singing, dancing, and drama classes in small groups. You’ll teach from your own studio space and welcome each group for their dedicated singing lesson of about 50 minutes each.
Classes should blend vocal technique with musical expression—exploring breath control, pitch, tone, harmony, and ensemble work. Lessons are planned in advance to align with term themes or upcoming performances, but also offer space for your own creativity and teaching style. Each lesson should begin with a warm-up and end with a cool down. There should be time to work on and prepare specific material while also infusing your creativity to engage them in music beyond just singing.
You'll be part of a collaborative and supportive team, working together to create a joyful and structured performing arts experience for students.
