The posting

Position Title: Music Program Director

Start Date: August 2027 Contract Type: Yearly; 10-month School Type: Boarding

Inspire student musicians, spark creativity, and bring our community together through music and performance.

Why Join Us

St. Mark’s School seeks an imaginative, energetic, and collaborative musician-educator to teach, strengthen music programming, and bring our community together through performance. We welcome candidates who can engage experienced musicians and inspire students who may not yet see themselves as musicians.

A full-time member of the Arts Department reporting to the Department Head, the Music Program Director will collaborate with arts colleagues and the Chaplains to support a vibrant musical culture and the School’s Episcopal tradition. Like all faculty, they will participate fully in residential school life through teaching, advising, and residential life responsibilities.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with Arts Department colleagues to strengthen music offerings, expand participation, and contribute to a shared vision for the arts aligned with the School’s mission and strategic priorities.
  • Teach academic courses in music and/or ensembles annually, with offerings shaped by your musical expertise and student interests (previous offerings include Choir, Jazz Band, Orchestra, Music Theory, & Music Studio).
  • Organize concerts, recitals, visiting artist programs, and informal performances and support student-led music-making.
  • Mentor student musicians and support participation in District, All-State, and other external opportunities.
  • Partner with the Chaplains to strengthen community singing and student participation in Chapel, providing musical leadership and inclusive repertoire for regular services and special traditions, including Lessons and Carols.
  • Oversee the private lesson program, supervise the Music Administrative Assistant and part-time music professionals, and manage the budget, instruments, equipment, facilities, scheduling, and performance logistics.
  • Partner with Admission, Advancement, and Communications to showcase student musicians and strengthen recruitment and community engagement.
  • Work with Auxiliary Programs to explore appropriate facility rental opportunities and coordinate necessary logistics.
  • Advise students, contribute to residential life, and fulfill other responsibilities associated with teaching at a residential school.
  • Fulfill the equivalent of two seasons of co-curricular responsibilities, with assignments based on the candidate’s interests and expertise and the School’s needs. Opportunities may include leading signature music events such as the WICK A Cappella Festival or Cutler Jazz Festival, advising a cappella groups, supporting musical theater productions, or coaching athletics.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome expertise in vocal or choral music, jazz, instrumental ensembles, keyboards or organ, music production, songwriting, or music theory. Candidates should bring depth in one or more areas and the versatility to support a broad music program.

  • A bachelor’s degree; advanced study in music or a related field is preferred.
  • Accomplished musicianship and success teaching and mentoring adolescents from diverse backgrounds.
  • Experience directing ensembles and organizing performances or music programs.
  • Strong organizational and collaborative skills, with the ability to expand participation and manage program operations; supervisory experience is preferred.
  • A commitment to inclusive teaching, professional growth, and full participation in boarding school life.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Join a close-knit community with opportunities to develop engaging courses and make a meaningful impact beyond the classroom. Benefits include housing, meals, health coverage, tuition remission, and access to campus facilities.

Salary Range:

$43,500-$85,000, commensurate with experience and educational background.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
