Before you apply

What the work looks like.

Classes run Saturdays from noon to 7:30pm at the Community Church of Syosset, with faculty teaching only the blocks they are assigned. Private lessons are arranged separately between teacher and family.

See the Saturday schedule

OPEN POSITIONS NOT LISTED

The page invites applications but never says what COS is hiring for. Even a line saying which instruments or classes currently need teachers, or that applications are held on file for future openings, would tell a candidate whether it is worth writing. An email address would also be less friction than post.

Applicants must be, or agree to become, a member of AFM Local 802.

Send your cover letter and resume to the Fresh Meadows office.
