Careers at the Scotia Suzuki School
WE ARE HIRING!
The Scotia Suzuki School of Music is FINISHED HIRING for Sept 2026, In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
​
We are still interested in a part-time Suzuki Guitar teacher. The rest of our positions are full. We would still love to hear from you - feel free to still apply for a future opportunity.
Who are we?
A group of Suzuki-trained teachers who work together to bring music education to families in Halifax at a higher level with support from each other. Students coming to the SSSM don't have one teacher, but many are all working together for them. Teachers train each other using their strengths and sharing their experiences. It's a fun place to work and a wonderful community for teachers.
We would love to meet you.
When teachers start working at the school, they begin as associate Suzuki teachers. Once they understand how the school works and get into the routine of things, they can move to Suzuki teacher status. From their promotions to Lead teachers, Mentor teachers, Department heads, Artists in Residence and Artistic Directing jobs are available to apply for. Teachers are either subcontracted or employees. The SSSM is a school where teachers are constantly improving and growing and are given opportunities for growth.
How do I apply?
1) Fill out the application, including your current Suzuki training and your future training plans.
2) We will contact you, and if there is a position, we will ask for a resume and cover letter.
3) Send in two contrasting clips of you teaching a music lesson.
4) If available, send a dated video of you performing. (it doesn't have to be current)
5) We will contact you for an interview, and should you be a fit for an opening we will arrange for you to come to the school as a guest teacher and conduct an in-person interview.
