Work with us!

We're growing, so we're hiring! Fill out the form below if you're interested in teaching with us

We're hiring!

  • Do people tell you that you sing like a Disney princess or prince? (And it's true?)

  • Do you wish you could find a part-time job that actually uses your musical skills, talents, and training?

  • Do you like to leave your work at work so you can enjoy your family, friends, and creative pursuits?

  • Do you love making $40 per hour while singing, laughing, and playing?

This is a seriously super fun and rewarding job, and I can't wait to find the perfect fit for this position and welcome you to our community of talented, friendly, and fun-loving teachers. Musicality, personality, and dependability count more than previous work experience, so if this job description is calling to you, please don't hesitate to reach out to learn more, even if you've never taught a day in your life. (I hadn't either when I started!)

Now the official job posting stuff: Seeking an energetic, dedicated, and responsible teacher/facilitator with a passion for music, play, and working with infants, young children, and their caregivers in parent-child music classes, as well as with young children in preschool, daycare, and library settings, for approximately 3–5 hours per week. This is a perfect part-time job for singers / actors / former or current performers, as you will utilize your singing and performance skills in each class. Once trained, there is zero work outside of the classroom. 

 

Please note: Applicants must have Friday morning availability, as we are currently hiring for our Caregiver and Me music classes in Brookfield, which take place between 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Additional teaching opportunities will likely also become available at other times and locations as our programs continue to grow.

 

Employment offers are contingent upon successful completion of fingerprinting and background screening. 

Job Basics

  • Facilitate high-energy parent-child and/or preschool music classes. (Full teaching curriculum will be provided.)

  • Must have a happy, playful, and positive personality and enjoy singing, song dramatization, and movement.

  • Must have the ability to engage children 4 months – kindergarten through songs, movement and various age-appropriate musical activities.

  • Must be able to learn and retain songs and chants (along with matching movements) efficiently and correctly.

Minimum Requirements

  • ​Pleasant and tuneful singing voice (all classes are sung a cappella so a strong musical ear is required; applicants with vocal training are strongly preferred)

  • Experience with babies and/or young children is a must (personal and/or professional). Dependability and personality count more than previous work experience for these positions.

  • Commitment to ongoing learning and program development

  • Must be enthusiastic, engaging, upbeat, fun-loving, and patient, and have extremely strong interpersonal skills

  • Must have reliable transportation.

How to apply:

Please email your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you are a great fit for the Brookfield Academy for Mini Musicians to clara@msclarasmusic.com. Also, please attach a cappella recordings of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “Happy Birthday to You,” starting both tunes on Middle C. The recordings do not need to be professional (on your phone is fine!). I am simply listening for a pleasant and tuneful voice, as our classes are led without any accompaniment. Video recordings are preferred, but audio recordings are also welcome.

In addition to emailing your resume, cover letter, and recordings, please fill out the form below.

Which lessons are you interested in? Required
Do you have reliable transportation to the western suburbs? This may include carrying rhythm instruments (drum, shaker eggs, bells, etc.), so it could be challenging to do so on public transportation.
Are you willing to undergo fingerprinting as part of the hiring process if offered a position?
Additional teaching opportunities may become available within the city limits of Chicago. While this is not a requirement for employment, applicants with greater scheduling and location flexibility may have access to additional teaching opportunities. Would you be willing and able to teach in Chicago if classes became available?
