Build Your Success As A Music Teacher With Forbes

What We Look For In A Teacher

Forbes Music works with the best and brightest music educators who love inspiring creativity and passion in the hearts of our students. While Forbes Music offers opportunities for both in-person and remote learning, availability for in-home lessons is required for all who apply.

We’re A Concierge For Music Teachers. We Make Your Life Better.

We specialize in bringing fun and qualified teachers into the homes of our clients. Parents and students love the convenience of lessons in the comfort of their own home and teachers enjoy a change of pace, the warm welcome of their students’ families, and the opportunity for growth.

Our goal is the success of every member of our community. In addition to sharing expertise that strengthen teaching skills and improve the performance of students, we implemented a suite of proprietary technologies that improve communication and enable teachers’ effective and efficient management of their own teaching practice. We make your life better! It’s just another way we separate ourselves from the rest!

Music Teacher Qualities And Qualifications

At Forbes Music, we look for teachers who possess important and meaningful qualifications and professional experience to be a successful music instructor. A background in music education, a degree in a music related field, as well as experience teaching multiple instruments either privately or in the classroom are a few noteworthy qualities that often lead to success. The five critical factors that we look for include consistency, commitment, communication, connection, and capability. These are five qualities that make up great music teachers and role models, and the benchmark we use when vetting candidates.

We Offer Great Opportunities For Music Instructors

We encourage applicants who are comfortable working with both children and adults (and adults who act like children). Students can range in age from 3 years old to senior citizens, and beginners with no experience to advanced students. Often students enjoy exploring multiple instruments, or families may have multiple children, each pursuing a different instrument. Teachers with experience as dual principals or high level experience teaching multiple instruments are encouraged to apply and can often more quickly build a roster of students.

It’s important for teachers to have experience teaching different styles of music, from Baroque through Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century music, including contemporary styles like pop, rock, jazz, songwriting, and the ever popular Disney songbook.
