What We Look For When Hiring a Teacher

First, we hire teachers who hold themselves to a high standard and take responsibility for their students' engagement and success. Teachers have the opportunity to tailor lessons to their students and figure out what works for them. If lessons aren’t working for a student, a Musicologie teacher works to make a change to help that student succeed.

Second, we hire teachers who are curious experts. You should already be an expert on your instrument, but you also need to have a deep desire to keep learning. Identify your weak areas and work on them. Hone your lesson plan, work on your communication, develop new strategies for challenging students.

Third, we hire teachers who are leaders in their community. That can mean being active in the Columbus music scene. It can mean participating in community events and performances. It can mean getting involved in Musicologie's events and initiatives. However you do it, community involvement is important.
