Salem-Keizer Music Teachers
Come Work With Us!
Our district employs more than 100 music teachers, serving students in kindergarten through high school. Students in our elementary schools receive at least an hour of music instruction each week, in addition to optional participation in choir, orchestra, and band. The choir, orchestra, and band programs continue through high school, with the full complement offered at each of our traditional middle and high schools. Some schools also offer courses in guitar, mariachi, world drumming, piano, ukulele, and more!
Our programs are staffed vertically, enabling students to receive instruction from teachers working within their area of specialty. Our faculty hail from around the country, drawn by the commitment our community makes to ensuring all students have access to a quality music education. To see available positions, visit our Careers page.

Teaching in a community that supports you and loves music is a dream come true. The students are phenomenal and I feel gratified as a musician in the quality of music we get to make together.
