Teach the singer in front of you

We’re expanding our voice faculty to meet growing demand. Help students discover their sound, build healthy technique, and develop confidence through contemporary music, musical theatre, and the songs they love.

The teaching

Plan personalized lessons that connect breath, registration, resonance, pitch, rhythm, and expression with meaningful repertoire. Adapt to developing and changing voices, introduce mix and belt when appropriate, and coach phrasing, diction, storytelling, auditions, and microphone skills.

Accompany your students on piano or guitar during lessons and at performances. Attend DAMPA’s two annual recitals and student showcases, and help students prepare. Share progress and teaching needs with our team; DAMPA handles scheduling, billing, enrollment, and client communications so you can focus on teaching.

Who we’re looking for

Bring professional music experience, previous voice teaching experience, accomplished singing, and clear, encouraging instruction. Voice should be your primary strength, whether you are a vocalist or a multi-instrumentalist. A music degree is valued but not required.

Strong ears, practical theory, thoughtful vocal pedagogy, and piano or guitar accompaniment skills matter. Teaching separate instrumental lessons is optional. Recording, live performance, songwriting, and audition coaching are valued specialties that can enrich lessons and open up new class opportunities.

Support for your work

We equip your teaching room with the resources you need. Our full recording studio has a baby grand piano, Logic Pro, and vocal microphones for recording student milestones and your own work during off hours. Complimentary lessons with fellow DAMPA teachers and access to practice rooms support your continued musical development.

Optional opportunities include masterclasses, group classes, and summer camps. Our musical theatre department presents two full productions a year and smaller projects; interested faculty are a first-call resource, with that work paid separately. There is room to grow into leadership based on skills, performance, and initiative.

Pay, benefits, and schedule

This in-person W-2 position pays $30–$40 per teaching hour, based on experience and skill set, with room for increases through performance reviews. Training pays $20 per hour. Recital and showcase compensation is separate from lesson pay, with details reviewed during hiring. Earnings are based on teaching hours; semi-private and group teaching pays 20% above your regular hourly rate. At 30 hours per week, you become eligible for BCBS Gold PPO health benefits, with DAMPA covering 50% of your monthly premium.

Priority teaching blocks are Tuesday and Thursday, 3-8 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; Saturday staffing is a high priority. Voice-led teachers who can also teach piano are especially needed Monday, 3-8 p.m., and Tuesday, 4-8 p.m., for a supported December 2026 transition of established students. Wednesday is not part of that handoff. Voice-only specialists are welcome for other voice assignments. Sunday teaching is coming soon; launch date and hours will be confirmed. We will agree a consistent schedule around your availability and student demand; the full window is not required. Lessons take place at 3415 Milton Ave., Dallas, TX.

Your starting weekly teaching load will be agreed individually and will grow with enrollment, your availability, and the subjects you teach. Available windows are not a guaranteed number of paid hours. The 30-hour health-benefit threshold is an eligibility requirement, not a promised starting schedule.

Let’s meet

Send your resume and a short note about your teaching experience, specialties, availability, and preferred teaching load. Singing and accompaniment samples are welcome now and should be provided before an interview; simple live recordings are fine.
