Timbalooloo

Seeking new Teaching Artists interested in working with children age 4 months - 6 years old in a fun and innovative way that focuses on quality musical experiences

About Timbalooloo:

Timbalooloo classes range from infants up through 8 years old, with the majority of classes being for 1-5 year olds. The room is filled with rhythm, melody and groove as we take a musical journey, discovering songs and instruments from all around the world. Through a story-based approach, the classes introduce the music of great masters from diverse traditions - from Herbie Hancock to Tito Puente, Mozart to Jobim, Babatunde Olatunji to Willie Nelson, as well as songs and games that help internalize musical concepts in a fun and intuitive way, all while allowing room for the children’s own creativity and sense of improvisation to shape the direction of each class.

About The Job: Teaching Artists teach group classes in schools (pre-schools, early elementary, pre-k programs etc) and in small-group classes that parents set up. Teachers can set their own schedules for when they are available to teach.

Job Type: Part-time

Pay: $51.00 - $79.00 per hour

Flexible schedule
