Build Confidence. Lead Growth. Teach Music That Matters.
Minnesota School of Music is hiring professional music instructors who want more than a teaching gig — they want to be part of a structured, student-centered faculty.
We are a locally owned, fast-growing community music school serving Blaine-area families since 2013. Our instructors mentor students, prepare them for the stage, and contribute to a culture focused on long-term development.

No chasing payments
No scheduling logistics
