Looking for Great Music Teachers - guitar and piano

Red Bird is a recreational music school. We deliver progressive music education in a manner that is welcoming, encouraging and supportive. Our goal is to help students become increasingly proficient with their instrument while gaining confidence and enjoyment of the skills they are developing. Student goals and milestones (such as performance or mastery of a particular song) are developed with the teacher, and are to be both challenging and achievable. Students should be inspired to practice, not for any particular badge or level but for personal satisfaction.

The school offers private and semi private lessons Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 7:30pm and on Saturday/Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

We are looking for an experienced guitar teacher, piano teacher, and voice teacher (or multi-instrumentalist) to join our team this fall, starting in September.

Those interested in joining our team should email lessons@redbirdlive.ca with a covering letter and CV.
