Private Piano Teacher

Cincinnati School of Music is hiring private piano teachers across our five Greater Cincinnati locations: Olde Montgomery, Mason, Anderson, Maineville, and Middletown. Openings vary by location based on student demand, teacher availability, and scheduling fit.

If you are open to more than one CSM location, you only need to apply once. Please apply to the posting that best matches your preferred instrument and location, then note any additional locations where you would be willing to teach.

Teachers at CSM are W-2 employees, not contractors. CSM covers half of payroll taxes, provides biweekly pay stubs, and offers a 3% SIMPLE IRA match for eligible employees. Teachers are paid for student no-shows and late cancellations.

Our administrative team handles scheduling, billing, parent communication, and recital logistics so teachers can focus on teaching.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

• Strong piano fundamentals and the ability to teach beginners through intermediate students
• Clear communication with students, parents, and staff
• Reliable weekly availability, especially after-school and evening hours
• A student-centered teaching approach that helps students stay engaged and make steady progress
• Flexibility across one or more CSM locations

WHO TENDS TO BUILD A SCHEDULE FASTER

• Teachers with consistent after-school and evening availability
• Teachers who are flexible across multiple CSM locations
• Teachers who are reliable, communicative, and good at retaining students
• Teachers who are comfortable working with beginner and early-intermediate students

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

• Teachers expecting a fully booked schedule immediately
• Teachers wanting complete control over every scheduling decision
• Teachers unavailable during peak after-school and evening hours
• Teachers seeking occasional or drop-in teaching only

This position is for someone who wants to build a consistent weekly private lesson schedule with real administrative support behind them.
