Focus on Teaching

Just show up and help people make music. We'll handle finding, booking, and billing your students so you can focus on teaching. We'll even have an online portal to help you keep track of your students, upcoming lessons, and take notes on attendance and repertoire if you need it. 

Great Pay

Our teachers earn more per hour making music than most jobs. Teacher's schedules are consistent weekly in the afternoons and nights so you can have mornings and weekends to live your life. Teachers even get paid when a student cancels their lesson!

Teacher FAQs

What's the benefit of being part of a studio?
Making music can be an isolating art. Running a one-person teaching studio on your own just adds to the stress. Unexpected expenses, like professional-looking space rental, studio supplies, internet, insurance, recital venue rentals, and online tools add up. Not to mention the time and stress of handling marketing, taxes, student leads, signups, discontinuations, cancellations, questions, and management. Running your own teaching studio is running your own small business and wearing many hats.
​
Amped is an opportunity for teachers to do what they do best - teach! Not only do we take away the time and stress of managing a small business, we provide a community for musicians. Work with other teachers, collaborate on projects, provide more opportunities for students, and make more of an impact on our music community. We go farther together.

Can I afford the rent?
Our teachers never have to write us a check! We'll handle all expenses, including space rental, upkeep, heat, internet, printing, insurance, security, the lesson portal, and more! You get paid for teaching while not having to worry about expenses for your teaching space!

What are the hours like?
Our teaching schedule is 3-8 PM Monday through Thursdays. Our teachers generally teach 8-18 hours per week.

What about makeup lessons?
No makeup lessons. If a student misses a lesson, you will still get paid for your time!

What are the students like?
We generally have students between the ages of 5-80. These are families that love music and the arts and self-progress. Connecting and having a friendly rapport with our students and families is important to us. Lessons range from one student and one teacher to 3-6 students and a teacher.

How big are the rooms and are they furnished?
Our room sizes range from 110-200+ square feet. The rooms are furnished with chairs, music stands, bookshelves, bluetooth and/or input-cable speakers, and practice amps. We have a permanent upright grand piano, TVs, desks, keyboards, a drum set, and practice pads in certain rooms. Contact us for a tour!
