Piano Instructor for Kids Group Classes

North Shore Piano Studio is an established piano school located in Lynn, MA. We offer both private and group instruction to kids and adults in a fun, structured, and engaging setting.

Schedule: We are looking for a teacher to start on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays immediately, with after school hours from 3:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Classes are 55 minutes each with short breaks between. There is potential to expand to additional days later this year as our program grows.

• Create a positive, encouraging environment that keeps young students engaged, motivated, and having fun
• Follow our structured curriculum while adapting to the needs of individual students within each group
• Quickly hear and correct mistakes in notes, rhythm, and technique on the fly
• Help students of varying skill levels learn and grow together in a group setting
• Communicate clearly and professionally with parents about student progress and with studio leadership

Responsibilities:

• Teach group piano classes following our provided curriculum and lesson plans

• Encourage, motivate, and problem-solve to help young students overcome challenges
• Communicate with parents regularly about student progress, challenges, and achievements
• Keep accurate records and communicate any issues promptly
• Be open to training, assisting with other classes, and learning the technology used in our program

Preferred Skills & Qualifications:

• At least 1 year of experience teaching piano
• Experience teaching group classes
• A bachelor's degree in music or equivalent experience
• Experience working with children
• A friendly, patient, and encouraging teaching style
• Comfortable adapting to mixed skill levels within a group
• Able to commit to the 2026/2027 school year or beyond

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay: $50–$80 per hour, based on experience, with bi-annual pay raises
• A structured, well-designed curriculum with lesson plans provided
