Location: New Orleans & Metairie

Are you an enthusiastic, Jewish (or “Jew-ish”!) musician with a big personality? Do you love singing with kids and families? Then you might be a great fit to join us.

To start: we will need you one afternoon per week to teach a preschool music class in Metairie. We’ll also ask you to do some training with our other Nola teacher in the mornings at the Uptown JCC, and will occasionally ask you to sub for him.

For Summer: We’ll need you to be available five days a week to lead music for camp Uptown and in Metairie. This position has lots of room for growth and, once we have the right teacher, we look forward to building this position together. You must have some basic guitar or ukulele skills.

Tkiya creates Jewish music experiences to help people of all ages find their unique connection to Jewish culture and connection. We work primarily with families and children ages 0-5 as well as school age children, senior citizens, and more. We partner with more than 80 communities across the country including synagogues, JCCs, PJ Library, and other organizations.

Even if this schedule doesn’t work for you, get in touch with us! We’re rapidly growing, and always looking to connect with talented, exciting musicians with diverse skill sets and backgrounds. Do you have special skills in finance, operations, marketing, social media, content generation, or something else? Drop us an email and let’s talk!

To apply: Please email hiring@tkiya.org with your resume, a note describing why you are excited about this position, and a short video of you singing a children’s song accompanied by guitar or ukulele.
