Currently the only way to be considered for inclusion on our website is to complete our Toronto piano teacher job application form.
Can I apply to teach both in-person and Skype piano lessons?

We give priority to piano teachers in Toronto with a minimum qualification of a Bachelor degree in music, however we have made exceptions on rare occasions, and will be happy to consider your job application. Please be sure to provide proof of your highest piano/music qualification, whatever that may be.
I can’t find my degree. What should I do?
We can accept other documents as proof of your qualification, such as a transcript or official letter. If you have another type of document that shows evidence of your qualification, feel free to submit it, or ask us if you are unsure whether it is valid.
I’m moving to Toronto soon. Can I apply before I get there?
