Piano & Keyboard Teacher | Bach to Rock® Music School — Herndon, VA

Are you a skilled pianist or keyboard player with a passion for teaching? Bach to Rock® Music School in Herndon, VA is looking for an enthusiastic Piano & Keyboard Teacher to join our team of professional musician-educators at our studio in the Worldgate Centre.

At Bach to Rock, piano students don't spend years on scales before they get to play music they love. Our student-first approach means lessons are built around each student's goals — whether that's learning classical repertoire, playing pop songs by ear, mastering chord-based accompaniment, or developing music theory foundations. You'll teach private one-on-one lessons to students of all ages, from young beginners (ages 5+) through adults, in a professional and supportive school environment.

What You'll Do:

• Teach private piano and keyboard lessons across all skill levels — beginner through advanced
• Draw on a broad range of styles: classical, pop, rock, R&B, jazz, contemporary, and more
• Build personalized lessons using Bach to Rock's curriculum framework as your foundation
• Track student progress and maintain open communication with parents
• Bring energy, patience, and genuine enthusiasm to every lesson

Schedule & Availability:

• Weekday afternoons and evenings (approx. 3PM–9PM)
• Saturdays (9AM–5PM)
• Flexible — we work around your performing and gigging schedule

Compensation — Tiered by Experience (W-2 Hourly):

• Tier 1 — Entry/Developing Instructor: $17–$18/hr
• Tier 2 — Established Instructor: $18–$20/hr
• Tier 3 — Advanced/Specialist Instructor: $20–$22/hr
• Tier 4 — Senior/Expert Instructor: $22–$25/hr

Your tier is determined by your education, teaching history, and performance background — with a clear path to grow.

Who We're Looking For:

• Strong piano and/or keyboard proficiency — classical foundation and contemporary versatility equally valued
• Prior teaching experience is a plus, but we welcome emerging instructors with the right passion
• Comfortable and patient with students of all ages, especially young beginners
• Reliable transportation to our Herndon studio
• Must pass a background check

Why Bach to Rock?

• 401(k) retirement plan — one of the only music schools in Northern Virginia to offer this for part-time instructors
• W-2 employment with consistent, reliable hourly pay
• Flexible scheduling that respects your life as a performing musician
• Professional studio environment — no garage lessons, no commuting to students' homes
• Nationally recognized music education brand with established curriculum and support
• Real student performance opportunities: live shows, studio recording, and ensemble programs

If you love piano, love people, and love helping students discover what music can do for them — we want to meet you. Apply today!
