Teachers
Teach Sacred Music
The Rocky Mountain Conservatory is looking for musicians, educators, and church music practitioners who love the Church's song and want to pass it on. Whether you teach privately or offer workshops, there is a place for you here.
Why Teach With Us
Your Craft. Your Terms. Our Mission.
Teaching at the Conservatory means joining a community of musicians united by a common love for sacred music and the Church. We give you the freedom to teach the way you teach best — and the support to do it well.
Faculty Incentives
What We Offer Our Teachers

Set Your Own Fees
You set your own lesson rates — for private lessons, group instruction, workshops, or any combination. The Conservatory does not cap your fees or take a percentage. Your rate, your income.
Set Your Own Schedule
Teach when it works for you. Whether you want a full studio of students or a handful of lessons per week alongside other work, you control your calendar through My Music Staff.
