• You can teach both individual lessons and group classes if needed, as well as possible summer camps.
• You understand the value and importance of being punctual and make punctuality your lifestyle.
• You are in the process of obtaining or have already obtained at least a bachelor’s degree in music, and/or you are a professional musician who plays for churches, bands, etc.
• You like to smile, laugh, and have fun! You bring a joyful, upbeat personality to the lessons!

What Your Life at En Route Will Look Like:
While each semester is different, here is what you can expect:

• Teach weekly private drum lessons to students ranging from ages 7 - adult.
• Prepare students to perform in a workshop/mini-showcase halfway through each semester and a full showcase at the end of each semester.
• Attend the showcases in order to support your students.
• Inspire students regularly by reminding them what they are working towards and what their goals are for their futures.

What You Have That Makes You Qualified:
Beyond being incredibly passionate and skilled, you will need to have the following to succeed in this role:

• You have obtained or are in the process of obtaining your music degree from a reputable university’s music program. If not, you are a professional musician with extensive performance experience.
• You have a complete understanding of music theory.
• You possess superior skill in playing the drums and have a thorough understanding of the parts of a complete drumset along with all of the correct terminology. This includes the ability to safely/properly transport, set up, break down, and tune the drums.
• You are able to submit some video clips and/or audio files of yourself playing the drums, demonstrating various techniques and/or styles.
• You have the ability to communicate musical concepts and drumbeats in easy-to-understand lessons for all students between ages 7 - adult.
• You have a proven track record of strong performance in prior roles.
• You love people of all ages and are friendly and professional.
• You know how to help parents feel good about their children’s progress.
• You are able to teach year-round. (Of course, we do have scheduled break-weeks and holidays throughout the year. This year-round requirement just refers to the need for someone who can commit to being here consistently for our students, as opposed to a college student who needs to travel home every summer and then return in the fall, for example.)
• You live locally, or at least with a reasonable commute.
• Lastly, you have people who will vouch for you – at least 3 of them, including a former manager and client (if possible). Please do not use relatives as references.

NOTE: The ability to teach more than one musical instrument (or voice, songwriting, or artist development) would be a huge plus and would increase your likelihood of building your number of students more quickly.
