Founding Technical Collaborator / Creative Developer for Innovative Music Education Platform
Part-Time • Contract
NYC Preferred (Remote Possible)
$30–$50/hr (pilot-stage flexible structure)

I am a NYC-based pianist, educator, and music program director with nearly 15 years of experience in music education, piano instruction, curriculum development, choir direction, and musical theater production.

My background includes multiple degrees in music performance and music education, and throughout my career I have built and elevated numerous arts and music programs within schools and educational institutions. From developing music theory curricula and choral programs to designing full musical theater experiences and institution-specific arts initiatives, my work has always centered around creating engaging, meaningful, and high-level artistic education tailored to each community’s needs.

I am currently developing an ambitious and highly creative digital music education platform designed for:

schools and classrooms
individual learners
music students of all ages
teachers and institutions

The vision is to transform the way music theory and musicianship are taught through interactive learning, visual exercises, educational games, elegant design, and modern technology.

This is not intended to feel like a traditional textbook or rigid educational platform. The goal is to create a visually compelling and genuinely enjoyable learning experience that combines:

strong pedagogy
beautiful aesthetics
interactivity and creativity
gamified learning
classroom integration
long-term scalability for schools and educational programs

I envision this beginning as a small founding team of three:

myself as curriculum architect, educational director, and creative visionary
a Founding Technical Collaborator / Creative Developer
a UI/UX Designer with strong aesthetic and product sensibility

I am currently looking for a technically skilled and creatively minded collaborator who can help bring this vision to life and contribute ideas regarding:

educational platform development
app/web architecture
interactive exercises and visual game concepts
scalable technology solutions for schools and individual users
overall technical direction of the product

Ideal Background:

experience building modern web/apps/platforms
React / Next.js / TypeScript experience preferred
interest in educational technology, gaming, arts, music, or creative tools
startup or MVP-building mindset
portfolio of previous projects or platforms
NYC-based strongly preferred, though remote collaboration is possible

This position begins in a pilot-stage collaborative format. I will personally contribute toward initial startup and development expenses, and the long-term goal is to grow this collaboratively through shared success, future expansion, and potential profit-sharing/equity participation for the right long-term founding collaborator.

If interested, please send:

portfolio / GitHub / website
short introduction about yourself
previous projects or interactive products you’ve worked on
what kinds of creative or educational products excite you

Looking for thoughtful, ambitious, aesthetic-minded collaborators interested in building something meaningful, original, and artistically driven from the ground up.

Pay: $30.00 - $50.00 per hour

Work Location: Hybrid remote in New York, NY 10003
