Music Teacher (Toddler- 2nd Grade)

Akron Global School believes that childhood is not a preparation for life. It is life itself. We are building, from the ground up, a school and a pedagogical team with a clear purpose: to offer children, from Toddlers through 2nd Grade, an educational experience that respects their time, their curiosity, and their capacity to construct knowledge through relationships, inquiry, and meaningful experiences. We are looking for a Music Teacher to design and facilitate musical experiences that foster children's curiosity, creativity, listening, and self-expression. In Early Childhood, music is a powerful language for exploring rhythm, movement, voice, sound, instruments, and relationships, contributing to children's holistic development and cultural repertoire. More than teaching music through traditional content-based instruction, we are looking for a professional who can create meaningful, inquiry-driven experiences that are appropriate for each developmental stage and encourage children to explore and participate actively. This position will be structured on an hourly teaching basis of 10 hours per week.
