Rock Academy — Germany's first band-based music class — is looking for several motivated teachers (guitar, drums, or vocals) to give the wonderful gift of making music to more kids (age 6 - 16, basic instrumental knowledge/no experience).

We believe that everyone can be a musician! That's why we developed an innovative learning method rooted in instrumental learning research and learnings that most musicians had at the beginning of their journey:

• The students play in a band from the beginning and experience the joy of making music together
• For developing new skills and staying motivated, they learn only songs they like
• Regular live shows are a fun goal to practice for
  ‍

You will be instrumental (pun intended!) to bring Rock Academy to life:

• Song- and band-oriented learning - The students' fun comes first, not learning notes. They play songs they like, in a band.
  
• Band coaching and live shows - A personal band coach (you!) prepare their bands for the final live rock show.
  
• Lessons in small groups - Our students learn their parts in group sessions taught by professional teachers (you!).
• All-in-one app for learning and connecting - Our app helps students to prepare their parts with video tutorials and allows them to connect with their teachers (you!) and fellow students.

• ‍Professional space and equipment - All teaching and jamming will be carried out in a professional rehearsal space. Available equipment: drums, e-guitars, amps, mics, PA.
  

‍Teacher responsibilities and details:

• Teaching of group lessons, structured around songs picked by the students (in-person Berlin-Mitte, max 3 students)
• Facilitation and coaching of band jams (in-person, Berlin-Mitte)
• Connect with students remotely via community app, e.g. chat/forum, and help them with their parts between lessons
• Work with the Rock Academy team to continuously improve the class
• Engagement starts in February 2024
  
  

Preferred qualifications (transferable skills/experiences may be equally valuable):

• Advanced or expert knowledge of your instrument (guitar, drums, or vocals)
• Minimum of 1 year experience in music teaching (intermediate+ level)
• At least two semesters of music, arts, education, or similar transferable experience
• Excellent German, English at least intermediate
• Required permits to work as a freelancer in the EU
• Being comfortable with technology
• Good time-management and organizational skills
• People person with an friendly and thoughtful personality
