Hire Teaching Artists

Recruit a Berklee teaching artist for private instruction, community outreach programs, school districts, and more. Berklee students have a wide range of expertise and skills to facilitate learning through the arts in traditional and non-traditional settings. 

Compensating teaching artists: The Career Center recommends a minimum payment of $20 per half-hour or $30 per hour. A standard range is $30–$100+ per hour and is dependent upon student needs and teacher qualifications, teaching experience, and/or an advanced degree(s). Additional factors to keep in mind when hiring for private music, voice, or dance lessons include the location of the lesson (at a teacher’s studio or in the student’s home) and travel time, commuting distance, and transportation. Longer lessons are priced proportionately.

The Career Center does not post private lesson ads that are unpaid.
