Steps to Volunteer
Volunteer F.A.Q
Frequently asked questions:
What age do I need to be to apply to become an instructor?
14-18 years of age or in high school (9th – 12th grade).
Will I be Paid for my time as an instructor?
No, because instructors are volunteers, but you will receive community service hours.
How many hours per week will it take?
The number of hours per week depends on the amount of time your student chose for each session, and whether you’re tutoring or teaching a student. However, each lesson/tutoring session can be averaged out to about 20-30 minutes. Therefore, if an instructor is assigned two students, it can take one hour out of a week.
Why Haven't I RECEIVED my confirmation email after I applied to be an instructor?
If you have not received an email and it’s been more than 1-2 weeks, check the spam section of your inbox!
What is the difference between teaching and tutoring?
Tutoring is where the instructor helps a student practice/practices with the student. The student should already be getting private lessons and/or be involved in an ensemble, and know how to play their instrument. The purpose of tutoring would be to amp up the efficiency and quality of the student’s practice time, and to help the student get the most out of their practice time/help the student focus.
Teaching is where the instructor teaches the student the basics of the instrument and how to play. The student will most likely have no prior experience with the instrument.
