Extra Information for Music Instructors

To be eligible to work as a Learning Music Australia Music Contractor / Music Instructor you must have extensive experience and relevant music skills and a love of music....you must also have a passion for imparting knowledge on to others. *Most of LMA's students are under the age of 13....so it helps if you are able to relate well to young children:)

In addition to music / teaching skills, you must be willing to 'set up' as an independent contractor and abide by the policies that have been set at each of the schools you work at (Inc. D.E.C.S). You must also abide by the stringent guidelines that have been set by Learning Music Australia.

In the first instance you must have -

a. Relevant music skills, and the ability to interact well with young children.

b. You must have a National Police clearance / and a Catholic Police clearance if you are wanting to work at a Catholic School.

c. Ideally you will already have a Mandatory Notification Certificate (we can assist you with this, if you don't have a current certificate - it's a '7 hour course' based around 'child protection / child safety'). *LMA are able to deliver this course (S.A only)

d. You also need to have your own 'Public Liability' Insurance. *If you don't, we can assist you with this process. It's quite easy!

e. If you have limited, or no experience in tutoring students, we are keen to chat with you about your training options. We can help you through this process to get you 'work ready'.

Once you have been approved as a Music Contractor, you will need to sign the following agrrements, to formailse your involvement with LMA -

1. A Music Contractor Agreement

2. An LMA Confidentiality / 'Non-Solicitation' agreement

3. An LMA child Saftey / Engagement and Behaviour Management agreement

4. A Curriculum and Reporting Agreement.

Also....For each school you are appointed to, you will sign an agreement.

This whole process is designed to -

a. Ensure the quality of the service and the safety of the children

b. Protect your contract / longevity of the arrangement

c. Ensure complete transparency of information between all parties.

Please contact LMA if you have any questions. The process may seem 'difficult' on the surface...but it's actually quite easy, as we can guide you every step of the way. It's not overly time consuming :)

ON-LINE AUDITION - NEW!!

Learning Music Australia are very busy, and have been finding it extremely difficult to find the time to audition / interview new instructors / music contractors. We have created the following process to overcome this issue. It is now much easier to become a Legally compliant, LM.A music instructor.

If you are interested in becoming a legally compliant instructor, please do the following -

1. Forward a copy of your resume and a Cover Letter to Learning Music Australia - rockandpop@bigpond.com *Please feel free to include links to your website (myspace / facebook) if you have one, so we are able to find out more about your musical skills.

2. Video yourself performing two songs 'live', and introduce yourself to L.M.A (please upload your video to myspace or you-tube, and send us the link so we are able to view it). *L.M.A are especially keen to hear from Multi-instrumentalists. So, if you play more than one instrument...please record yourself playing all instruments (even if it's something simple). Feel free to tell us about your level of competency on your second, third and forth instruments.

3. Based on this application we will decide if we wish to engage in training or if we are able to offer you a music teaching contract / an 'in-house' training program. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Teacher Training Courses

We wish to receive letters of applications from musicians / music educators, that are interested in becoming registered Learning Music Australia music instructor contractors.
