Online Kora Faculty — Tradition-Bearer (Remote, Worldwide)

Twenty-one strings and seven centuries of griot memory — the kora is West Africa's harp of stories. YOUR STUDIO Teach kumbengo (accompaniment patterns) and birimintingo (solo runs), the Mandé repertoire and its histories, tuning systems, and the griot tradition of song and story as you inherited it. 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, full-term studio cohorts, and ticketed masterclasses — you choose your formats and set your calendar.
