I work with mostly adults
“Teaching at Loudlands gives me the perfect balance of independence and support. I have a library of resources to pull from and a dedicated team of creative peers that I can brainstorm with. I also get to work with a large adult population, which is both enriching and extremely unconventional for this industry. After teaching at a variety of lesson studios over the past ten years, I can proudly say this is one of the most qualified and passionate teams I've ever worked with.”

A rewarding experience
“Teaching at Loudlands has been a uniquely rewarding experience. Working largely with adult students, I get to connect with people from all sorts of backgrounds and build bonds over the shared interest of drumming. I thoroughly enjoy challenging students to push through the discomfort of the early learning stages in order to break through to the freedom of expression on the other side. To top it off, the admin team is massively helpful with managing scheduling and "the business side" of things.”

-
Yes—we require a completed bachelor’s or master’s degree in music. We do not hire current university students or recent grads without teaching experience.
-
Most teaching happens during weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), and weekends (10 AM–5 PM). Instructors must be available at least three days per week, including one weekend day.
-
Yes! All of our teachers are actively engaged in the local Boston music scene as performers or creators. It's important to our culture that we lead by example—but we’re looking for instructors who prioritize teaching over touring or GB gigs. Our ideal candidate is excited to build a consistent, reliable teaching schedule with us.
-
No—all lessons are taught on-site at our Loudlands facility. We don’t offer in-home or travel-based instruction. Our studio-based approach allows us to build community, ensure consistency, and give students access to a fully equipped creative environment.
-
We provide structured curriculum resources for piano, drums, and guitar—but they’re meant to support, not restrict, your teaching. Instructors are encouraged to bring their own style, experience, and creativity to lessons. Our materials serve as flexible roadmaps to help guide your approach—not scripts to follow.
-
All Loudlands instructors teach private lessons. Select instructors—usually multi-instrumentalists with strong leadership and ensemble skills—also coach bands in our Heavy Chemistry program or lead other group classes. We’re always looking for talented educators who can do both. Group instruction roles are in higher demand and pay at a higher rate, but are reserved for instructors who demonstrate exceptional skill, reliability, and student engagement.
