Join our team
At the Dallas Academy of Music & Performing Arts, we spark a lifelong love of music in our youngest students — in a warm, playful, nurturing studio in the heart of Snider Plaza. We're looking for an Early Childhood Music instructor who lights up a room full of little ones and turns songs, movement, and play into their very first musical memories.
What you'll do
- Design engaging, age-appropriate lessons around each child's stage and learning style
- Track each child's progress and adapt your approach to fit them
- Create a joyful space where creativity and confidence grow
- Prepare students for recitals and performance moments as they're ready
- Collaborate with our faculty and take part in school events
- Stay current with best practices in early-childhood music education
What we're looking for
- A bachelor's or master's in Music Education, Early Childhood Education, Performing Arts, or a related field (preferred) — early-childhood music certifications a plus
- A strong musical foundation, with proficiency on one or more instruments or in voice
- A gift for age-appropriate songs, activities, and play
- Warm communication and confident, patient classroom management
- A talent for motivating even the youngest learners
- Willingness to complete a federal background check
Why teach at DAMPA
