Job Overview

At Familiar Music Academy (FMA), we believe great music teachers should have the freedom to teach, perform, create, and grow as musicians.

We’re building a modern music academy for students and families and we’re looking for skilled, university- and conservatory-trained musicians and educators who want to be part of it.

WHY TEACH AT FMA?

Competitive PayInstructors start at $25/hour for in-studio lessons and $30/hour for in-home lessons, providing very competitive compensation when compared within the other schools in the regional market.

Teach Your WayContrary to traditional conservatory curriculum, FMA's flexible curriculum allows teachers to play into their own strengths and bring their own personality, experience, and teaching style to every lesson. FMA also prides itself on providing structure, direction, and consistency to all our teachers and students.

A Curriculum Built for Real MusiciansFMA’s curriculum is built around our Six Pillars of Music Education:

- Technique
- Theory & Harmony
- Musicianship
- Creative Studies
- Repertoire
- Performance Studies

Students aren't simply taught to play songs. They develop the skills to understand, create, perform, and communicate through music.

KEEP PERFORMING. KEEP CREATING.

FMA is led by real working musicians and music professionals who understand that teaching and performing can and should exist together.





We encourage our instructors to continue pursuing their own performance careers, creative projects, and professional development alongside teaching.

Your experience as a performer makes you a better educator. And your experience as an educator makes you a better musician.

We also actively seek paid performance opportunities for our instructors, alongside performance opportunities for our students.

- High-level music education

- Long-term student development

If you're a musician who wants to teach without putting your own musical career on hold, FMA was built with you in mind.
