And they're looking for teachers like you.

What You'll Do (The Fun Stuff):

• Teach violin your way - we trust your expertise and training
  
  
• Work with students who actually want to be there (thanks to our matching process)
  
  
• Help kids prepare for RCM string exams, recitals, and competitions if that's your thing
  
  
• Build real relationships with Markham families who appreciate great violin teaching
  
  
• Focus on music education while we handle the business side
  
  

What We Handle (The Not-So-Fun Stuff):

• Finding and screening students
  
  
• All billing and payment processing
  
  
• Scheduling coordination and family communications
  
  
• Marketing your violin expertise across Markham and York Region
  
  
• Simple monthly reporting (seriously, it's easy)
  
  

Perfect for Violin Teachers Who:

• Have solid string training and love sharing their musical knowledge
  
  
• Want to build a sustainable violin teaching practice in Markham
  
  
• Prefer focusing on education over chasing payments
  
  
• Value professional recognition and growth opportunities
  
  
• Want to be part of Markham's thriving music education community
  
  

Ready to teach violin in a community that celebrates music? From the Markham Youth Orchestra to the Richmond Hill Philharmonic, from countless music schools to the strong cultural appreciation in our diverse community, Markham gets it. And so do we.

Your Markham Violin Teaching Career Starts Here.

Requirements

What We're Looking For:

You're passionate about violin and it shows. You genuinely care about your students' musical journey and get excited when they nail that tricky bow technique or finally master vibrato.

You have the credentials. RCM Grade 10 Violin minimum, but we'd love to see your ARCT or university music degree (B.Mus., M.Mus.). Got a Master's or higher? We can fast-track you straight to our Principal tier with better compensation.

You've taught before and loved it. Whether it's kids just starting to hold a bow or adults returning to violin, you know how to adapt your teaching for different ages and skill levels.

You think like a professional. You're reliable, you communicate well, and you can manage your own schedule. Basically, you treat teaching like the serious profession it is.

You're great with people. Parents love chatting with you, kids feel comfortable in lessons, and you can explain complex violin concepts in ways that actually make sense.

You're Markham-based or York Region-friendly. You have your own studio space or you're happy to travel around Markham and surrounding areas for lessons. (We do have online students too, but with 1500+ teachers already, we're really focusing on in-person instruction right now.)

You want to grow. You're not just looking for a few students - you want to build something meaningful in Markham's vibrant music scene.

Sound like you? Markham's violin students are waiting.
