About the role

Davis School Chicago is launching a founding music program and seeks a part-time Music Teacher to build instrumental and choral ensembles from zero, delivering rigorous, student-centered instruction. As a founding faculty member, you will shape curriculum, ensemble culture, and concert calendar while collaborating across disciplines to create a vibrant, inclusive college-preparatory environment. This role also emphasizes engagement with the Jewish school community in downtown Chicago.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
