Now Hiring: Private Lesson Instructor for all ages at Monroeville Music

Who We Are

Monroeville Music is a welcoming, community-centered music studio located right on Old William Penn Highway in Monroeville, PA. We are passionate about helping students of all ages discover confidence, creativity, and joy through music. Our programs meet families where they are—from the very beginning of their musical journey through advanced study:

• Private lessons on a wide range of instruments
• Music Together® Babies, Mixed Ages, and Rhythm Kids® classes (birth–age 8)
• Play-based, Suzuki-inspired group classes for young beginners (age 4+)
• Ensembles, jam opportunities, and creative workshops for all ages and levels

Our teaching environment is warm, supportive, flexible, and relational. We believe that music is learned best through connection, encouragement, curiosity, and play—not pressure.

Teachers who thrive here are those who love nurturing growth, value collaboration, and enjoy making music with their students—not just for them.

If you’re excited to teach in a friendly, community-focused studio where your passion is valued and your students are celebrated, we’d love to meet you.
