It's about the students.  But, it's about teachers, too.

At The Music Studio, it's not about your skills as a performer or who you've studied with.  And, we're not interested in hiring individuals who consider teaching a fall-back position or part-time work between gigs.  We're looking for "Musicians" and "Educators" who love working with kids, prioritize teaching, and enjoy being creative, spontaneous, and making kids laugh while they learn.  Our teachers work and have fun together, and support each other -- finding solutions, creating lesson plans, brainstorming ideas, and filling in for each other when needed.  Our students know and work with all of us, so it's very important to share a common teaching philosophy, work well together, and communicate often.  We believe in an orderly, professional environment...but also one that is warm, welcoming and fun.  It's important to us that our Teachers are happy, appreciated, well-paid, and look forward to coming in every day.
