• Excellent singing proficiency (a practical demonstration of singing ability may be required during the interview process).
• Accredited musical qualifications (RCM, Conservatory Canada, diploma, bachelor’s degree, or equivalent) are preferred.
• A confident, energetic, and engaging teaching style with the ability to connect with children and young people.
• Residence within approximately 20-25 km of Waterdown, Ontario.

Applicants without formal qualifications are still encouraged to apply if they can demonstrate equivalent experience in music performance, teaching, and musicianship.

Benefits:

• On-site parking

About the Role:

Private singing lessons at CBY operate seven days a week from our purpose-built studio in the heart of Waterdown, Ontario.

Our teaching hours are:

• Monday-Friday: 3:30 pm-9:30 pm
• Saturday: 9:00 am-5:00 pm
• Sunday: 10:00 am-5:00 pm

Working hours will vary depending on your availability and the Academy’s substitute teaching requirements.

Please note that this position is for inclusion on our substitute teacher roster. Successful applicants will be contacted on an as-needed basis, often at short notice, to cover lessons when one of our principal teachers is unavailable. Placement on our substitute roster does not guarantee a minimum number of working hours.

As the Academy continues to grow, there may be opportunities for substitute teachers to transition into permanent principal teaching positions.

Above all, we’re looking for great people. Even if you don’t meet every requirement listed above, we’d still love to hear from you. If you’re passionate about teaching music and inspiring young people, we’d welcome the opportunity to chat.
