Bach to Rock (“B2R”) is a modern music school where students of all ages learn the songs they love, build confidence, and perform. At Bach to Rock Herndon, we offer private lessons, group classes, bands/ensembles, early childhood programs, camps, and events. We combine structured instruction with performance opportunities in a professional, high-energy environment.
About the Brass Instructor Role We are hiring a Brass Instructor to teach private lessons (and occasional small groups) on one or more brass instruments (e.g., trumpet, trombone, French horn, euphonium/baritone, tuba).

Prepare students for recitals and performance opportunities.
Communicate professionally with parents/guardians and adult students regarding progress and practice expectations.
Maintain consistent weekly availability and reliable attendance.

Strong proficiency on at least one brass instrument; multi-brass ability is a plus.
Teaching experience and/or youth leadership experience strongly preferred; performance background a plus.
Comfortable working with kids and families; professional and dependable.
Reliable transportation to our location.
Ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule, especially weekday afternoons/evenings and Saturdays.
