TEACH MUSIC. BUILD YOUR CAREER. GROW WITH FMA.

Join Familiar Music Academy

At Familiar Music Academy (FMA), we believe great music teachers should have the

freedom to teach, perform, create, and grow as musicians.

We’re building a modern music academy for students and families and we’re looking for

professional, university- and conservatory-trained musicians and educators who

want to be part of it.

WHY TEACH AT FMA?

Competitive Pay

Instructors start at $25/hour for in-studio lessons and $30/hour for in-home

lessons, providing very competitive compensation when compared within the other

schools in the regional market.

Teach Your Way

Contrary to traditional conservatory curriculum, FMA's flexible curriculum allows

teachers to play into their own strengths and bring their own personality, experience,

and teaching style to every lesson. FMA also prides itself on providing structure,

direction, and consistency to all our teachers and students.

A Curriculum Built for Real Musicians

FMA’s curriculum is built around our Six Pillars of Music Education:

1. Technique

2. Theory & Harmony

3. Musicianship

4. Creative Studies

5. Repertoire

6. Performance Studies

Students aren't simply taught to play songs. They develop the skills to understand,

create, perform, and communicate through music.

KEEP PERFORMING. KEEP CREATING.

FMA is led by real working musicians and music professionals who understand that

teaching and performing can and should exist together.

We encourage our instructors to continue pursuing their own performance careers,

creative projects, and professional development alongside teaching.

Your experience as a performer makes you a better educator. And your experience as

an educator makes you a better musician.

We also actively seek paid performance opportunities for our instructors, alongside

performance opportunities for our students.

FLEXIBILITY THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Teach in the format that fits your career and schedule:

• In the student's home

• In your own studio

• Online

Our technology-driven systems handle scheduling and payments, helping reduce

administrative work and allowing you to focus on what you do best: teaching music.

If you're a musician who wants to teach without putting your own musical career
