It includes eight full-time faculty, 31 part-time faculty, and two staff, as well as five undergraduate degrees, two minors, and approximately 270 students (majors, minors, lessons, and ensembles).

Rank And Salary Are Commensurate With Qualifications.

Application review will begin January 15 and continue until the position is filled. Please submit:

  • A current curriculum vitae indicating educational record, employment record, achievements, awards, conducting, performance, and publications. Please also describe any civic and church activities, as well as all current organizational memberships.
  • Names and contact information of four references (three professional and one pastoral).
  • A letter of interest that includes any experiences/certifications with various music pedagogies, and an explanation of how your Christian faith represents a strong fit with Grove City College’s unique mission as a Christian college.
  • A 300-600-word statement outlining your teaching philosophy, which may focus on your motivation to teach at an undergraduate college, the importance of mentoring students toward membership in professional organizations and the state MEA, and/or what constitutes effective pedagogy at a Christian liberal arts college.
  • Links to 2-3 examples from your creative/performance/research portfolio that best represent your output in music education, music performance, or other music areas.
