About the Position

Ensemble Schools is seeking fun, experienced, and professional brass and woodwind substitute music instructors to teach at our Chicago area schools. We are looking for teachers who will instruct IN PERSON!

Substitute teachers will be contacted when there is a deficit in a main teacher's schedule but consistency is appreciated by both students and school staff, and preference will be given to candidates with greater availability.

We have locations in these areas:

• Northbrook (Christopher Laughlin School of Music)
• Schaumburg (Schaumburg Music Academy)
• Naperville (Musical Expressions)
• Orland Park (The Music Connection)
• Palatine (The Music Room)
• Geneva (Hix Brothers Music School)
• South Elgin (Music Education Centers)
• Rogers Park and Norwood Park (Flatts & Sharp Music Company)
• Bucktown (Bucktown Music, Inc.)

Successful candidates will have a strong music background evidenced by a degree in music performance, music education, pedagogy, or equivalent performing experience, a demonstrated love of teaching, experience working with young musicians, a robust appreciation for punctuality, reliable transportation, and the ability to pass a routine background check.

Instructor pay is commensurate with experience and will be in the range of $27-$30/hour. Teachers will be eligible for our 401K program with employer matching after 90 days. Reliable substitute teachers are often considered for promotion to fully rostered teacher status.
