See what we’re all about

Brooklyn Music Factory is not just a music school; we are a mission-driven company intent on growing a body of 100,000 students worldwide with the tools needed to connect with others and build something bigger than themselves through music. Playing & performing in bands. Writing & sharing songs. Jamming around the campfire or around the world. We grow musicians for life and are changing a generation of music-making families.

Your life as a BMF teacher may feel radically different than any previous job. You will prepare for every single lesson with a level of intent and commitment that will mean long days. Especially in year one. You will be asked to study new BLAM (Big Lessons About Music) games every week and you will be challenged to implement new technologies that make your students’ learning experiences more efficient. You will be asked to create new content to benefit our whole community. You will work on Sundays celebrating with your students at gigs. And you will have to turn down that tour because you committed to being there for your students every week.

Your job is to build a community of confident, creative communicators fluent in the language of music. Your students will grow into lifelong musicians who join or start their own bands, write original songs, record and share their magic, and ultimately inspire others to join them in the mission to bring people closer together.

Ultimately, you will serve the community at large with your creative input. If you love to help others, then Brooklyn Music Factory is the place for you.

Who You Are:

Brooklyn Music Factory is a community and, as the People Manager, your role is a critical one: connecting community members with each other and managing faculty, MITs and guest teachers to ensure BMF families are being cared for properly.

You will be families’ first point of contact when they enter BMF, will greet them and make them feel welcome, will know the students’ names and their caregivers, can answer most of their questions, and know who to forward the ones you can’t answer. You will make sure students meet up with their respective teachers and bandmates, get to class on time & have an inspiring learning experience.

You will also manage all faculty, ensuring that they know and are fulfilling their responsibilities: connecting with students on site, starting and ending lessons on time, sharing lesson notes and band reports daily, tracking attendance, etc. You will celebrate their successes, track their committed actions & hold them accountable when they fall short.
