At Full Measure Collective, teaching isn’t just a job.

It’s a craft, a creative collaboration, and an opportunity to change lives. Our Music Teachers don’t just guide students through scales and exercises; they ignite curiosity, foster confidence, and help students discover the joy of musical expression. If you’ve ever had a teacher who made learning feel effortless and fun because they were gifted at connecting with both the subject and the student, you know the kind of educator we’re seeking.

This role is for the passionate, the imaginative, the communicators —those who want to inspire, challenge, and grow alongside their students. You will lead private lessons, group sessions, workshops, and performance opportunities in‑person, online, and in students’ homes, nurturing each learner’s unique musical journey.

What Success Looks Like at Full Measure

Success in this role isn’t measured in minutes of practice completed or pages of exercises; it’s measured in students who leave lessons excited, curious, and confident, in instructors who grow their craft daily, and in the creation of a vibrant, collaborative, creative community. You’ll be part of a team that sets the standard for teaching excellence—teachers who don’t just instruct but inspire.

Deliver engaging private and group lessons in vocals, piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, saxophone, and drums.
Use music theory, technique, and creative exercises to spark both understanding and excitement.
Guide students to perform, collaborate, and explore their creativity through workshops, recitals, and other performance opportunities.
Build strong, positive relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
Participate in collaborative meetings, workshops, and curriculum development to continually enhance the learning experience.
Maintain records of student activities and progress, and communicate insights, encouragement, and guidance.
Contribute ideas, lead initiatives, and help shape the culture of Full Measure Collective.

Qualifications

Proficiency in one or more instruments (i.e. vocals, piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, saxophone, drums).

Experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels.

Strong communication, interpersonal, and creative problem‑solving skills.

A passion for inspiring students, cultivating curiosity, and nurturing talent.

Comfort with teaching in‑person, online, and in‑home.

Comfort with teaching students of all learning abilities.

Educational Qualifications & Artistic Experience

At Full Measure Collective, we know that creativity, talent, and the ability to inspire aren’t measured by degrees alone. While a music education degree or equivalent formal training can be a plus, it’s by no means required. What matters most is your passion for music, your ability to connect with students, and your dedication to helping them grow.

We recognize that artistic and creative minds often take unique paths — learning, performing, and teaching outside the traditional classroom. If you have significant experience, achievements, or mastery in your instrument or creative discipline, we want to hear from you. Your talent, mentorship, and ability to spark curiosity are just as valuable as any degree.

That said, those who have formal music education or training may find their expertise considered favorably, because we understand how difficult it can be to establish a career in your field of expertise. Full Measure Collective is committed to creating opportunities for all gifted teachers, whether your path was traditional, unconventional, or somewhere in between.

We welcome educators who bring creativity, enthusiasm, and dedication to our students, and who want to grow their craft alongside a team that values collaboration, innovation, and artistic excellence.
