K-8 Music Teacher
Evergreen Country Day School | Evergreen, Colorado | Full Time, Beginning August 2026
About ECDS
Evergreen Country Day School is a PK-8 independent school in the foothills, 20 minutes west of Denver. Over the past six years, we've grown from 150 to 240+ students by building a school where kids genuinely thrive. We've been named "Best School" in the area, the top independent school in Colorado, and our teachers have been recognized as "Best Teacher" three years running. This is the result of hiring exceptional people, giving them the freedom to teach in ways that matter. We have small classes, supportive colleagues, and a community that takes both hard work and joy seriously.
The Role
We're looking for a music teacher who wants to build something. The heart of this role is performance: every elementary grade puts on a concert at the end of the first semester, and that concert is the event parents talk about for weeks. Whether you get there through song, instruments, or something we haven't thought of yet is up to you. We care about the destination: students who love creating music.
The teaching load is designed to make that possible. You'll teach fourteen, 50-minute classes per week: two 5-day-a-week sections of elementary music plus two two-day-a-week middle school electives that you design and run. Past electives have included rock band, beginning rock band, and a cappella, and all of those can continue, but a teacher with a vision for something new will find an eager audience. This is a role with real creative ownership and the schedule to do it well.
What You'll Do
Teach ten sections of K-5 general music each week, building a joyful, skills-based program that meets every learner where they are.
Plan and produce a first-semester concert that represents each elementary grade, from repertoire selection through the final bow.
Design and teach two middle school music electives each semester (past offerings include rock band and a cappella), shaping them around student interest and your own strengths.
Work with our performing arts program to build a performance culture across the school, including opportunities for students to share music at assemblies, community events, and school celebrations.
Collaborate with classroom teachers so music connects meaningfully to what students are learning elsewhere in school.
Communicate with families about what students are learning and when to show up ready to cheer.
What We're Looking For
A musician and educator who believes performance is transformative for kids, and who can get a kindergartner and an eighth grader equally excited to take the stage.
A bachelor's degree in music, music education, or a related field; classroom experience teaching elementary or middle school music strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to produce student performances that families remember.
Versatility across genres and formats. We're a school of 240 students, so we need one great generalist with range rather than a specialist.
Warmth, flexibility, optimism, high expectations, and a growth mindset.
Enthusiasm for full participation in a close-knit school community, including duties, field excursions, and our House program.
Compensation & How to Apply
Salary range: $57,500-$70,000, commensurate with experience. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plan with employer match, paid time off, and professional development support. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
To apply, send a resume to Kabe ErkenBrack, Head of School, at [email protected]. And, if you have video of a performance you've led, we'd love to see it.
