Instructors are on the active roster for lessons in their instrument(s), though the total number of billable teaching hours each semester is subject, as always, to student enrollments. Our Music Instructors teach students at all levels, from beginner to advanced, across a range of voice types and instruments.\nIndividual Performance Study is one of the requirements for the Music major, supports excellence in our many department ensembles, and is also very popular with non-majors/minors. Lessons are one of the few instructional areas where a student can experience sustained one-on-one teaching, and may have the same instructor each semester for their entire undergraduate career. We therefore prize Music Instructors who cultivate welcoming, respectful, and supportive studios; offer students a diverse range of repertoire; prioritize wellness and sustainable approaches to technique; and help students develop pathways for a lifetime of thoughtful engagement with music, whatever their future professional goals may be.\nThis is an academic-year, non-benefited appointment (September 1 - May 31), renewable annually.\nImportant Application Note:\nThis is a Rolling Application. We are continuously recruiting talent for our future needs. Submitting an application puts your information directly into our active pool, and we will contact you for an interview should a suitable opening become available. Submitting an application does not guarantee an opening.\nInstruments currently offered:\nPiano\n\nVoice\n\nFlute\n\nOboe\n\nClarinet\n\nSaxophone\n\nBassoon\n\nFrench Horn\n\nTrumpet - Currently Searching for Trumpet Instructor (for AY26-27)\n\nTrombone\n\nTuba\n\nPercussion\n\nHarpsichord\n\nOrgan\n\nHarp\n\nGuitar\n\nElectric Guitar\n\nViolin\n\nViola\n\nCello\n\nDouble Bass\n\nElectric Bass\n\nEarly instruments: Lute, Viola da Gamba, Recorders, etc.\n\nEssential Responsibilities:\nOffer 10 30-minute or 60-minute lessons per student per semester, depending on the number of credits and student enrollments\n\nAssist students with placement and enrollment\n\nPrepare and distribute syllabi\n\nPrepare for lessons\n\nAssist students in preparing for end-of-semester performances and half or full recitals\n\nAssist students with mentorship and musical opportunities as appropriate\n\nSubmit grades\n\nQualifications:\nMaster’s degree in Music\n\nMinimum one year prior experience teaching one-on-one private music lessons\n\nCommitment to Mount Holyoke College’s climate of academic excellence and inclusive learning within our gender-diverse women’s liberal arts college environment\n\nCompensation: $73.54/HR for lessons and $36.78/HR for administrative work\nSpecial Instructions for Applicants:\nApply online; application materials must include:\nA cover lettersummarizing interests and qualifications\n\nA complete resumeor curriculum vitae\n\nLinks to at least two videos of you in performancefor each instrument you teach, recorded within the last 5 years\n\nEncouraged but not required: one or more videos of you teaching your instrument, recorded within the last 5 years\n\nBackground Checks:\nMount Holyoke College is committed to providing a safe and secure environment, supported by qualified employees that will allow all of its students, faculty, staff and those associated with them to successfully carry out the mission of the college.
