Teach With Us
Teach music. We'll handle the rest.
Knoxville Academy of Music is the largest private music school in the Knoxville area. We're family owned and have been teaching in Farragut for over 25 years. We're looking for skilled, reliable instructors who want a full studio without the work of running a business.
Why Teachers Choose KAM
- Students come to you. With over 300 active students and families calling every week, we fill your schedule. No marketing, no searching for students.
- We handle the business side. Our office manages scheduling, billing, payments and parent communication, so your time goes to teaching.
- Paid when students miss. If a student doesn't show, you're still paid for that lesson.
- Steady, year-round work. We teach 48 weeks a year on a consistent weekly schedule, and our breaks follow Knox County Schools.
- Real studios. Equipped teaching rooms with pianos, drum kits and amps, plus an app that handles your schedule and lesson notes.
- More ways to earn. Beyond weekly lessons, you can lead paid workshops, vocal ensembles and group classes.
- Recitals your students will remember. Two professional recitals a year, with video, so families see what your students can do.
- Rates that grow. Our senior faculty earn higher rates, so your pay grows the longer you're with us.
- A real community. Work alongside other professional musicians who care about teaching.
Who We're Looking For
We're hiring instructors for piano, voice, guitar, drums, violin, ukulele and bass. You'll be a great fit if you:
- Play your instrument at a high level and read music
- Enjoy teaching children, teens and adults
- Communicate clearly and professionally with families
- Can commit to a consistent weekly schedule
- Have teaching experience (preferred, not required)
