Riverside Guitar School

02/09/2026

Riverside Guitar School is growing and we are looking to hire a few part-time teachers both for regular in-studio teaching as well as for some more limited-time opportunities we have out in the community (one-off or session-based classes at schools and other community partners). Many of our classes are with children and we prize teaching experience and ability to relate well to others over technical mastery on the instrument.

If you love the guitar and have any background or interest in teaching we would love to have a conversation and tell you more about the current opportunities we have open. Several of these opportunities could be a great fit for people who may only have a few hours a week to give (stay-at-home parents looking to get involved in things outside the home, college students, etc).

Please reach out to Dean at (616) 617-4642 or [email protected] to get a conversation started and learn more.
