Guitar Teacher | Bach to Rock® Music School – Herndon, VA

Love guitar? Love people? Bach to Rock® Herndon is looking for a passionate Guitar Teacher to join our team of professional musician-educators at our studio in the WorldGate Centre.

At Bach to Rock, we do music education differently. Students pick the songs they love — from rock and pop to blues, acoustic, and beyond — and you help them fall in love with playing. You'll teach private one-on-one lessons to students of all ages, from young beginners to adults, in a fun, professional, and supportive school environment.

What You'll Do:

Teach private guitar lessons across all skill levels (beginner to advanced)

Cover a broad range of styles: rock, pop, acoustic, electric, blues, country, classical

Use Bach to Rock's structured curriculum as a foundation while personalizing lessons to each student

Track student progress and maintain open communication with parents

Bring energy, reliability, and genuine enthusiasm to every lesson

Schedule & Availability:

Weekday afternoons and evenings (approx. 3PM–9PM)

Saturdays (9AM–5PM)

Flexible — we work around your performance and gigging schedule

Compensation — Tiered by Experience:

Tier 1 (Developing Instructor): $17–$18/hr

Tier 2 (Established Instructor): $18–$20/hr

Tier 3 (Advanced/Specialist): $20–$22/hr

Tier 4 (Senior/Expert): $22–$25/hr

Your tier is determined by your education, teaching history, and performance background — and there's a clear path to grow.

Who We're Looking For:

Strong guitar proficiency across multiple styles

Prior teaching experience is a plus, but we welcome emerging instructors with the right drive

Comfortable and patient with students of all ages, especially children

Reliable transportation to our Herndon studio

Must pass a background check

Currently gigging, recording, or performing? We love working musicians.
