Openings at Opus 118 Harlem School of Music for Violin Teaching Interns 

Opus 118 Harlem School of Music (www.Opus118.org) provides high-quality music instruction in an environment that nurtures excellence and creativity. Students in the East Harlem community are served with tuition-free twice-weekly group violin instruction during regular school hours and subsidized private instruction for violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano after school hours.

Opus 118 Harlem School of Music was founded by the now-legendary Roberta Guaspari, whose fight for in-school music programs in East Harlem became the subject of a documentary (Small Wonders) and a feature film (Music from the Heart). Roberta continues to work in East Harlem Schools while actively training the next generation of teachers for Opus 118.

This is a paid internship with an hourly salary. Applicants must have at least an undergraduate/conservatory level of training in violin/viola performance. Successful experience with young students a plus. Those who complete the internship will have the opportunity to teach classrooms and private lessons of their own and to join our wonderful team of active musicians.

Opus 118 Harlem School of Music is searching for qualified interns to learn our unique and effective methodology. We are looking for outstanding violinists and violists to participate in our Teacher Training Program, where violinist and violists work with our master teachers who have:

• excellent musicianship and the ability to sight read at a moderate-to-high level
• interest in teaching students ages 4-18 in private and group settings
• the will to do observations and train in a thorough approach to teaching beginners
• availability for morning teaching/training, afternoon teaching, and evening observation
• enthusiasm about our mission to provide music education to students who may not otherwise have access
