Music Teacher Needed–Strings/General Music Emphasis
The Avonworth School District, located 10 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA is seeking candidates for a full time contract music teacher position to start in the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Primary responsibilities are 4th and 5th grade string orchestra (program begins in 4th grade) and elementary general music. A candidate whose primary instrument/focus is violin, viola, cello, or bass is strongly preferred.
Avonworth’s music program has seen exponential growth in quantity and quality in recent years. Our bands and choirs in grades 6-12 have received top scores at state adjudication for several consecutive years, and enrollment and retention numbers in elective ensembles is far above average. A new string orchestra program was started from scratch in the 2021-22 school year and has been growing successfully with string orchestra now well-established in grades 4-8, and a high school orchestra on track to be added to the curriculum in around two more years. This is an exciting time for a string specialist candidate to come join our team to help our new orchestra program reach its full potential, and ensure our youngest learners in general music are given the strong foundation they need to be successful.
Questions about the position may be directed to Cory Neville (the other string teacher in the district) at cneville@avonworth.k12.pa.us, or our music department head, Mr. Ronnie Ziccardi at rziccardi@avonworth.k12.pa.us.
Candidates should apply via PAEducator.net no later than July 16.
