Our Selection Process
Our Selection Process
At Starlight Music Lessons, we put our heart into teaching music, and you can see that in our teachers.
We are owned and operated by teachers. Those who are responsible for screening, interviewing and hiring our teachers are also teachers themselves. Because we are music teachers, we know better than anyone how to screen out applicants who aren’t truly proficient musicians. We know how to spot the real TEACHERS AT HEART who hold teaching as their passion and weed out those who look at teaching as just a way to make some money between gigs. We actually listen to our applicants play their instrument(s) to ensure they truly know how to play! We take time to learn about each applicant’s teaching philosophy and personality.
Our teachers go through an exhaustive selection process:
Our teachers go through an exhaustive selection process:
Thorough application and resume required
Interview and audition on all instruments they will be teaching
Music theory test if they do not have a music degree
Reference check from at least three people familiar with their work
Background check
Contract agreeing to stay with Starlight Music Lessons for at least a year to reduce turnover for you, the student.
Every applicant has been hand-selected and approved by the company’s owner!
Many of our teaching applicants have come to us after being offered a contract with the competition after only a 15 minute phone interview. They appreciate our attention to excellence and desire to be part of a company that values quality.
Teacher Background & Education Requirements
Our teachers have degrees in Music, or the equivalent experience and education.
If a teacher does not have a degree in music, they go through further testing and evaluation to ensure thorough knowledge of their instrument and music in general. Those without music degrees or a teaching background also attend a thorough training program teaching the basics of teaching, how to introduce difficult concepts and dealing with challenges that come up along the way.
Starlight is owned and operated by teachers. So even the most seasoned Starlight teachers have experienced mentors to turn to when they need assistance and ideas.
