The Houston Symphony’s Education and Community Engagement initiatives aim to engage the diverse communities of Houston through a wide range of programs. In addition to the 150,000 community members who participated in Student and Community concerts, we served nearly 5,000 people across Greater Houston through personalized interactions, whether bedside performances in area hospitals, classroom visits with middle school and high school bands and orchestras, early childhood partnerships, dementia center performances, and more.

We are seeking versatile and passionate violin teaching artists to join our team as Community-Embedded Musician Teaching Artists. In this dynamic role, you will have the opportunity to engage with diverse communities across Houston through a variety of music education and performance programs. While we are primarily seeking individuals who can commit consistently to one of the core programs listed below, additional program opportunities may be available depending on the applicant’s skill set and availability. Applicants whose primary instrument is an orchestral instrument other than the violin may also be considered for participation in some programs, provided they demonstrate strong skills in beginning violin pedagogy.
