With a network of over 100 classes running nationwide, Musical Steps offers individuals a unique opportunity to earn a living working with children and parents in a low stress, fun, creative musical environment.
You will be running music classes that help to develop children’s creativity, co-operation, listening, communication and language skills. Our training takes you through all aspects of running your business and how to implement our creative and educational musical lesson plans.
“I can choose the days and hours I work : I do earn good money : I get rewarded when I see the children improve and develop : I can spend lots of time with my girls and husband : I am my own boss, but still have a support network : Work is always fun,” Dawn Forsyth, Musical Steps Teacher, Glasgow

“I have been teaching Musical Steps classes since 2002 and it has had an amazing positive impact on my life. I love getting to know all the children and parents, and of course making music with them, “ Cathy McCallum, founder of Musical Steps.
If you love making music and hold some of the qualities that we look for in our teachers, this could be the business opportunity for you:
Energy & enthusiasm: to organise and lead the classes with a genuine interest in children and their parents with a professional approach.
Good communication skills: You will be dealing with both adults and children, and you need to be able to do this clearly, confidently and positively.
Musical experience: You need to have musical experience, a good sense of pitch and rhythm and a clear, strong singing voice. You must love making music and be able to convey this to children and their parents. Formal qualifications are desirable, but not essential.
Experience with children: This could take many forms - teaching, nannying, even looking after your own child.
A sense of fun: The atmosphere of every class is set by the teacher and we look for a sense of fun, patience and the ability to include and interact with each individual child.
Our flexible recruitment policy means that every application is considered on an individual basis.
