Full job description

The Setnor School of Music within The College of Visual and Performing Arts seeks a Part-time Instructor to teach MUE 300/600 Keyboard for Music Educators, a one credit hour course during the Spring semester, 2027.

This course develops essential keyboard skills for choral music educators who are not piano majors.

Students gain confidence using the piano as a teaching tool to support singers in the ensemble and classroom.
