Organizational Overview
The People's Music School is Chicago’s oldest and largest completely free nonprofit music school, providing transformational music instruction to over 800 K-12 students in Chicago. The school has a straightforward mission: to provide access to the transformational benefits of high-quality music instruction to youth who otherwise would not be able to afford it. We focus our work in communities that have been systematically excluded and marginalized from receiving a high quality music education.
Through intensive instruction and performance, The People's Music School's students grow not only musically, but also socially, emotionally, and academically, developing a foundation of responsibility, self-esteem, resilience, and purpose. From putting an instrument in an aspiring young musician's hand for the first time, to teaching students how to read and write music and perform in an ensemble, The People's Music School provides opportunity and instruction at sites located in four Chicago communities: Uptown, Albany Park, Back of the Yards, and the Greater South Side. Students receive an average of four hours of instruction per week, at absolutely no cost, delivered by world-class teaching artists.
Job Summary
The primary role of the teaching artist will be teaching small group/private lessons and delivering a curriculum that includes elements of theory, individual performance, ensemble performance, improvisation, and composition.

Transforming lives through high-quality, tuition-free music education.
The People's Music School is Chicago's oldest and largest 100% tuition-free music school. The school was founded in 1976 by Dr. Rita Simó, a Juilliard-trained pianist from the Dominican Republic who believed that all children should have access to music education, regardless of their family's socioeconomic status. Today we serve over 800 students across 55+ ZIP codes. Students at The People's Music School have a 100% high school graduation rate and a 96% college attendance rate. Through intensive instruction and performance our students learn more than music. They grow socially, emotionally and intellectually, and develop a foundation of responsibility, self-esteem and purpose. We believe music is transformative and empowers the lives of youth, families and communities.
