New teacher Test!

New teacher Test!

Dear Prospective RRT Music Provider,

This is my standard reply so I will give you some general information about the opportunity.

1. This is teaching a music class for VERY YOUNG KIDS! These are preschoolers which means anywhere from 1 year old up to only 5 or maybe 6 at the most! You need to be pretty confident that you are cut out to be interested and engaged with this age group.

2. You will be the group leader so you will need to be able to play an accompaniment instrument such as guitar or portable keys. The Autoharp can even work for this!

3. Our customers are spread around the metro area so the teachers that are the most successful are the ones who are willing to drive a little bit.

4. It takes time to develop our customer base so there may be a period of several week before you will began getting leads once you learn all of the songs and become familiar with the curriculum.

5. You will get paid $18 per 30 minute music class to start. You will earn a $1 increase for every 6 months of service until you reach the max of $22 per class. We also pay some bonuses for larger classes at the larger day care centers.

6. Our most successful teachers are the ones who have plenty of other part-time work and are doing this to supplement their other income. Our average teacher makes $500 after they have built up their schedule which may take several months.

7. This is a great part-time job and we have teachers who have been with Rhythm & Rhyme Tyme for many years! They enjoy the work and love the kids! It is a lot of fun!!!

Take the “New Teacher Test” below and see how you do.
