Careers

All teaching positions with Lead Guitar are paid positions for highly-qualified teaching artists, usually with at least a Master’s degree in Classical Guitar or Music Education.

That said, we are interested in any talented candidate who is passionate about outreach; please do apply and describe your qualifications and experiences in your cover letter. Teaching positions may become available throughout the year, but they typically open in spring (for training) to start teaching in the following fall. Non-teaching positions may open throughout the year.
