Are you an experienced piano teacher with formal piano training and a passion for helping students grow as musicians?

Imagine Music Inc. is looking for an experienced piano teacher to join our Calgary teaching team. We are particularly interested in teachers who have an established home studio or are interested in teaching from their home studio, as well as teachers who are willing to travel to students' homes for in-home lessons.

The primary focus of this position is piano instruction. Experience teaching voice is a robust asset and may allow you to teach students in both disciplines.

Lessons are primarily one-on-one and may include students of various ages and experience levels, depending on your strengths, experience, availability, and teaching goals.

We work to match students with teachers based on their location, experience, teaching style, musical interests, and goals.
