Bring music to life for our youngest learners.
Bach to Rock – Herndon is hiring experienced early childhood music instructors to teach ages 18 months–7 years in small, engaging classes (Rock n Roll, Rock City, Kids n Keys, Fun with Music).

- Teach parent-and-child and preschool/early-elementary classes with clear routines and upbeat energy.
- Model music fundamentals: steady beat, call-and-response, tonal/rhythmic patterns, and beginner piano/keyboard skills.
- Manage classrooms gracefully: transitions, attention, behavior, and safety.
- Communicate with parents at drop-off/pick-up; share simple at-home tips.
- Keep materials organized; follow lesson plans; log curriculum/notes.
- Occasionally, teach satellite classes at partner sites in the community.
Schedule & pay
- Part-time with consistent class blocks. Peak times: Weekdays 4:30–7:30 PM and Saturdays 10:00 AM–2:00 PM.
- $17.00–$17.50/hour (paid training).
Must-haves
- High school diploma or equivalent (degree in Music/Music Ed or ECE preferred).
- Demonstrated success teaching or leading groups of children under age 7.
- Elementary–intermediate piano/keyboard skills.
- Strong classroom management and warm, professional parent communication.
- Reliable, punctual, and safety-minded; able to lift/move small instruments/props.
- Driver’s license and reliable transportation (for local satellites).
Nice-to-haves
- Coursework/degree in Music, Music Ed, Early Childhood, or Elementary Ed.
- Or equivalent professional background (e.g., children’s choir leader, church music leader, Montessori/ECE aide with music focus).
- First Aid/CPR.
Why this is a great fit
- Make a real impact at the most formative ages.
- Teach with a proven early-childhood curriculum: Rock n Roll (1–3), Rock City (3–5), Kids n Keys (5–7), Fun with Music (6–7).
- Supportive team culture, clear lesson plans, paid training.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
