How much will I be paid?

Pay rates are based on instructor experience and location. As a national company we also look at the current student activity and market conditions in the instructor's area to determine a fair rate

What are the contract details I need to know?

Working with TakeLessons is non-exclusive. That means you can still work for other companies or find students on your own. There are large penalties for soliciting TakeLessons students to pay you on the side, or take lessons outside of our system.

We require a one year commitment from instructors that we contract with. This helps maintain lesson continuity for our students.

What are the fees associated with applying?

There is no fee to submit your application.

How am I paid?

You are paid as an independent contractor. Independent contractor payments are processed each week and all instructors are paid by EFT payment (Electronic Funds Transfer).
