Be the Welcoming Face of Minnesota School of Music
Minnesota School of Music is looking for a dependable, personable, and highly organized Evening Front Desk Receptionist to take ownership of our front desk Monday through Thursday evenings.
Our school serves children and teenagers through structured private music lessons, engaging instruction, and memorable performance opportunities. During our busiest hours, the front desk is the communication and customer-service center of the school.
You will greet families, assist instructors, answer questions, manage scheduling needs, support new student enrollment, and ensure the school closes each evening in an organized and professional manner.
This is not a position where you will simply sit behind a desk. We need someone who notices what needs to be done, communicates clearly, follows established procedures, and takes personal responsibility for providing an excellent experience to every family.
Your Regular Schedule
Monday–Thursday, 5:00–9:00 p.m.
Applicants must be consistently available for all four scheduled shifts. This is a permanent, predictable evening schedule and is not designed to rotate from week to week.
Paid training will begin in late August 2026. Training hours may temporarily differ from the regular schedule and will be arranged in advance.
