Music Teacher

We’re looking for exceptional music educators who see teaching as both a craft and a profession.

Guitar Shed serves 500+ students every week, and we’re committed to creating one of the most inspiring, welcoming, and professionally run music schools in Atlanta. Our teachers play a huge role in making that happen. They are mentors, musicians, and leaders in the room.

If you care deeply about your students, take pride in your teaching, and want to grow alongside a great team, we’d love to hear from you.

You’re a great fit for Guitar Shed if you:

• Teach guitar, piano, violin, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, or voice and have experience teacehing in a music school
• Are exceptionally strong on your instrument
• Come prepared and have a clear plan for every lesson
• Run structured, engaging sessions with intention
• Know how to connect with and manage a room, especially with kids ages 5–12
• Communicate confidently and professionally with parents
• Show up early, prepared, and ready to contribute
• Welcome observation and feedback as part of professional growth
• Take ownership when something isn’t working and look for ways to improve

We believe great teaching is about more than musical ability. Professionalism, consistency, preparation, and presence all matter—and we’re looking for educators who take pride in all of them.

At Guitar Shed, our teachers:

• Conduct structured, full-length lessons
• Track and communicate student progress
• Contribute to recitals, performances, and community events
• Participate in meetings and professional development

Multi-instrumentalists are especially welcome.

Experience with early childhood music or group classes is also a plus.

Founded in 2015 in Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighborhood, Guitar Shed is a modern music school rooted in community, creativity, and high standards.

We want our students to feel inspired, supported, and challenged, and that starts with having the best teachers in the room.

If that sounds like the kind of environment you want to be part of, we’d love to meet you.
