- Strong classroom management and communication skills
- Reliable transportation and consistent availability
- Must be dependable and punctual
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working with elementary-aged students
- Ability to teach multiple mariachi instruments
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus
What We’re Looking For:
This role is ideal for musicians, performers, or educators who are confident leading a group, can keep students engaged, and are comfortable performing in front of an audience. We are looking for someone who can bring both structure and energy into the classroom.
