How to write a vacancy of music teacher (with template)
What a music teacher's vacancy should say to attract those who do fit: title, functions, requirements, conditions and process with a template ready to adapt.
A good vacancy as a music teacher tells with precision what's taught, to whom, in what format, with what schedule and under what conditions and explain how the selection process will be. The more concrete the more candidates they don't fit, the more they rule out themselves and the easier they are to put them out.
Here you have to include, a template ready to adapt, the most frequent mistakes and where to publish them to get to musicians who also know how to teach.
To sum up
- The title of the office should read an instrument or area, public and day, for example: "A teacher of violin for children - hour Chair - Bogotá, headquarters north."
- Separates the necessary requirements of the desirable and an endless list of demands removes good candidates.
- It includes actual conditions: linkage modality, time, headquarters and, if you can, pay range.
- It indicates the stage of the process, including hearing, class and verifications, so that no one will be surprised.
- He published where musicians are: faculties and Conservatoriums, groups and referred, as well as employment portals.

How to write the functions and the requirements
Functions: describes a real week
"To teach music" says nothing. Say how many classes, how long, individual or group with how many students per group and what tasks are there to dictate class as well as: area meetings, reports, samples, instrument assembly or accompaniment of events. The tasks that appear after the signing wear out the relationship from the first month and explain them in [how to retain your academy's teachers].](/blog/como-retener-a-los-profesores-de-tu-academia).
Requirements: few and verifiable
Ask for every requirement: Without this I cannot hire this person? If the answer is no, put it to desirable. If your institution requires a specific title by internal policy or by regulations, say it clearly. Otherwise, think about whether that requirement leaves out good musicians with demonstrable pedagogical experience, and then you can check them out at the class show.

Conditions: what candidates look at most
Many music teachers combine several institutions, particular students and their artistic life. Before applying, they figure if their schedule, movements and pay are up. If the vacancy doesn't say so, the best ones pass by or come to an interview that doesn't end up with anything.
- Special time frame: and fringes, but they have been "complete availability."
- Weekly and if they can grow with time.
- Linkage modality: with your employment counsellor and say his job at the vacancy.
- Compensation: A range and periodicity of payment, "to be agreed," creates mistrust and unnecessary interviews.
- Headquarters and modality: face, virtual or mixed and if tools of the institution are used.
Mistakes that put good candidates away
- The whole teacher: order piano, guitar, singing, band, choir and music production in one person.
- Input requirements: Many years of experience for a few hours of musical initiation.
- Hide schedule or headquarters till the interview.
- Retirement "to be agreed" with no reference range.
- Do not mention the process: The candidate hears about his audition the same day.
- Text copied from another vacancywith functions of another office or another institution.
- Do not answer to anyone: To close the process without warning affects your reputation in a musical community where everyone knows each other.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to publish his salary at his music teacher's vacancy?
It's highly useful to publish at least one range. Save time to both parties, attract candidates that can really accept and transmit serious. If you can't give a figure, at least indicates how payment and how it's calculated, for instance, by dictated hour.
What documents to order at the post?
For the first stage, we have to have a paper and a short video playing or teaching. Certificates, references and authorizations for checks have been requested from the finalists, so as to avoid them all picking up unnecessary roles.
How long to leave the vacancy open?
That's good enough to run through the music channels and with a clear date of closure. Open up with a margin before the start of the period so that the process isn't made to the races.
Do you have to get a video at the post office?
Yes, as an initial filter. He wants to be short and, if possible, to show the candidate teaching as well as playing. He doesn't replace the hearing and class shows but helps you decide who to invite.
