Qualifications:

• At least one year of teaching experience on your primary instrument(s).

• Commitment to teaching with ROOTS for a minimum of one year.

• Successful completion of a criminal background check.
• Consistent availability during peak after-school hours; active touring musicians or those with recurring conflicts during these times will not be considered.

Compensation:

• Lesson Rate: $25–$28/hour starting rate

• Drive Time: Compensated at $16.50/hour for all travel between student homes

• Final lesson rate is based on experience, instrument, and schedule availability
