Online Jazz Piano Faculty — Per-Lesson (Remote, Worldwide)
The Global Conservatory·Remote, Worldwide
Deadline
Dec 31, 2026
Compensation
Paid per lesson taught — rates agreed with each faculty member. No salary, no minimum hours, no exclusivity.
Comping, voicings, and the courage to solo — jazz piano is a language spoken with ten fingers. TGC's Jazz & Contemporary division needs native speakers.
YOUR STUDIO
Teach voicings and comping across styles, improvisation as language (transcription practice, vocabulary building), repertoire from the Great American Songbook through modern jazz, trio playing, and theory-at-the-piano for improvisers.
THE ROLE, PLAINLY: this is per-lesson faculty work. You are paid for every lesson you teach — no salary, no minimum hours, no exclusivity. You keep your career, your existing students, and your city. TGC matches students to your studio, handles scheduling, billing, and safeguarding; you teach live on Zoom from wherever you live. You may also offer group classes and ticketed masterclasses — you choose your formats and set your calendar. Full-term studio cohorts are in development.
WHY TGC
The Global Conservatory (TGC) is a live online conservatory: 75 internationally accomplished faculty across 14 countries, 55+ certificate programmes, and eight active divisions — Performance & Vocal, Opera & Vocal Arts, World Music, NextGen Music & AI, Health & Wellness, Pedagogy Institute, Orchestral Training, and Composition & Theory. Ballet & Dance and Drama & Theatre launch in 2027, with Music Business following in autumn 2027. Every lesson is live — no pre-recorded courses, no AI substitutes for the teacher–student relationship.
