🎵 Love working with kids? Love making music?

At Nieves Music Studio, we inspire joy through music making — and we’re looking for teachers who bring that same joy, skill, and heart into every lesson.​​​​

What We Offer:

🎹 Piano 🎤 Voice 🎸 Guitar 

🥁 Drums 👶 Toddler Music​

​

Who We're Looking For:

​​​

Grounded, committed musicians who love working with kids and believe in the long game of music education.

​
At Nieves Music Studio, we believe that young students don’t need a taskmaster.
They need a teacher who will help them fall in love with music — gently, joyfully, and at their own pace.

​

That belief is core to how we teach.
We prioritize the process, not just performance — helping each student build confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for making music.

​

You're the right fit if:

• You bring positive, patient energy — especially with little ones

• You’re a natural encourager who builds trust before pushing goals

• You understand that connection comes first, and growth follows

• You’re reliable, warm, and present, not rushed or distracted

• You can adjust your teaching style to meet each student where they are​

🎯 Teaching with Us

📍 Location: Lessons are taught in-person at our Ocala studio (virtual may be available upon request).

​

🧾 W-2 Employment — You're a team member, not a contractor.
We classify even one-day-a-week teachers as employees, which provides greater stability and can help when applying for housing, loans, or other life needs. You're part of the studio — not just filling a slot.​

​

⏱️ Reliable Pay — Teachers are paid for all scheduled time, even in the event of student cancellations.
If the studio is open and you're scheduled and on-site, you're paid — including last-minute cancellations, recitals, trainings, and non-teaching gaps in your schedule.
We offer both a teaching rate and a non-teaching rate, so every hour you're scheduled is valued.

​

🗓️ Most new teachers begin with one consistent weekly shift (4.5–7.5 hours), with room to grow over time based on studio demand, your availability, and how quickly your schedule fills.

​

🎼 We teach ages 1 through adult, from toddler classes (1–4 yrs) to private and group lessons (5+ yrs).

​

​

✅ Role-Specific Requirements

To ensure students receive high-quality, safe instruction, all teachers must meet the following requirements for their instrument area:

​

🎹 Instrument teachers must be able to confidently demonstrate playing ability and read music fluently on their instrument.

​

🎤 Voice teachers must demonstrate healthy vocal technique, have a basic understanding of piano (for warm-ups, scales, etc.), and possess strong knowledge of vocal health and anatomy to prevent strain or injury.

​

🧸 Toddler music teachers must be able to sing comfortably and confidently, manage group classes (up to 12 students), and lead engaging, developmentally appropriate activities.
The ability to play a secondary instrument (like guitar or ukulele) is a plus.

​

​

🎓 Preferred Qualifications

While a degree isn’t required, we give preference to applicants with a strong foundation in both musicianship and education.

​

You’ll stand out if you have one or more of the following:

• A degree in music (or are actively pursuing one)

• Significant private study with a qualified teacher

• Prior teaching or mentoring experience

• Live performance experience

​

If you're a strong player, communicate well, and care deeply about helping students grow — we’d love to hear from you.
