At Song of Stars, we believe that every person carries a unique creative voice within them. Our mission is to help students discover that voice, develop their musical gifts, and gain the confidence to share them with the world.
We are currently seeking passionate, inspiring, and experienced music coaches to join our growing Langley team.
This is a part-time independent contractor position, beginning with teaching on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the opportunity to add a third teaching day as your roster grows.

- Voice
- Guitar
- Piano
- Songwriting
Additional experience in any of the following areas is highly valued:

- Build confidence through encouragement and achievable goals
- Explore the music they genuinely connect with

Most of our instructors teach a blend of disciplines. For example, a coach whose primary focus is voice may also teach songwriting, piano, or guitar. This integrated approach allows students to develop as well-rounded musicians and creators.
