What You'll Do

Our curriculum gives you a strong foundation while leaving plenty of room for your own creativity, teaching style, and musical spark.
Why Meridee Winters?
Since 1990, Meridee Winters School of Music has helped thousands of Main Line students discover the joy of music through creative, personalized in-home lessons.
We're proud to be:
- Adventurous learners, playful creators, and courageous performers
- A real school, comprised of real, caring, creative humans
- A true creative community, where musicians continue growing through workshops, collaboration, and shared ideas.
- The only music school in the area with our own teaching method and curriculum, giving teachers access to over 600 original lesson resources, games, activities, and songwriting projects.
- Woman-owned and woman-led, fostering a collaborative, supportive culture where creativity thrives.
- A Main Line Parent Love Award winner, trusted by local families for over 35 years.
Many music schools hire instructors as 1099 independent contractors, leaving teachers to manage self-employment taxes and navigate work without much support.
At Meridee Winters, you'll be a W-2 employee, which means you'll receive:
- Payroll taxes handled for you
- Workers' compensation coverage
- Unemployment insurance eligibility
- Social Security and Medicare contributions
- Ongoing training, mentorship, and administrative support
- The stability of traditional employment with the flexibility musicians need
We're an independent music school, not a franchise or instrument store. We're committed to helping both our students and teachers grow. (And yes, we believe learning music should be just as joyful as making it.)
Our Ideal Candidate...
- Has several years of musical training or performance experience. A music degree is a huge plus, but not required if you have a solid background in music.

- Enjoys working with children and helping them build confidence and creativity through music
- Is eager to learn our teaching method (no previous teaching experience required, we'll train you!)
- Has access to a reliable vehicle for traveling to students' homes
