Online Music Teacher — One-to-One Instruction (Independent Contractor)
Craft Music | Fully Remote (U.S.-based)

Craft Music is a musician-led online marketplace connecting students across the country with exceptional, experienced music teachers for high-quality one-to-one instruction.

We are building a national platform designed to expand access to serious music education while supporting working musicians—performers, composers, songwriters, and producers—who want to teach on their own terms.

This opportunity is ideal for teachers who value artistic autonomy, professional standards, and a thoughtfully curated teaching environment.

About the Marketplace Model

Craft Music operates as a teacher-first marketplace, not a traditional employer.

Teachers on our platform:

Set their own rates
Choose their availability
Teach using their own curriculum and approach
Decide which students they accept
Maintain full independence while benefiting from national visibility and infrastructure

We handle marketing, student discovery, scheduling tools, and payment processing—so teachers can focus on teaching and music.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking high-quality music educators who:

Hold at least a Bachelor’s degree in music.
Have meaningful teaching experience
Care deeply about musical depth, clarity, and sound quality
Are comfortable teaching students online in a professional setting

Teaching Scope

Teachers may work with:

Adults (beginners through advanced)
Professional or pre-professional musicians
Children and adolescents, from young beginners to serious teens

You may specialize in specific age groups or enjoy teaching across levels.

Technical Expectations

To ensure a high-quality online experience, teachers must have:

Reliable high-speed internet
A high-quality audio setup appropriate to their discipline

(e.g. microphone and audio interface for instruments/voice; DAW-based routing for production or songwriting)

Camera, lighting, and a quiet, dedicated teaching space

Instruments & Disciplines

All instruments and musical disciplines are welcome, including piano, voice, guitar, bass, drums, strings, winds, brass, songwriting, composition, music production, DAWs, and more.
