Employment Status: Adjunct Music Instructor (3 pool positions)
Salary Range: $2500-3000 per semester (prorated based on enrollment)
Expected Start Date: Spring 2027 - Approximately 01/04/2027
Application deadline: Review of applications will begin immediately. Open until filled.
The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA), a campus of the University of Arkansas System, invites applications from qualified candidates for adjunct instructors in music. Core responsibilities include teaching applied lessons to intermediate-to-advanced high school students. While this call is specifically for Spring 2027, we will hold applications in the event of future need and contact qualified applicants on a case-by-case basis depending on semester-to-semester need.
We seek adjuncts with the ability to teach the following instruments in lesson settings:
- Percussion
- Saxophone
- High Brass (Trumpet/Horn)
- Piano/Keyboard
- Clarinet
- Flute
Immediate needs for Spring 2027 are in percussion and single reeds, but, again, any of the above are consistent needs and areas of growth year to year.
A master’s degree is preferred, but a bachelor’s degree in Music (in any concentration) is required. Applicants must demonstrate clear proficiency and experience in both performance and teaching; at least three years of private studio, high school, or collegiate teaching is strongly preferred. Applicants are encouraged to submit documentation of their teaching experience and accomplishments.
These are temporary, part-time positions that are per-semester and contingent upon both need and funding. As such, these positions do not include UA System benefits. Pay scale is approximately $2500-$3000 per 1.0 FTE contact (at ASMSA, 1.0 FTE for lessons is 4 students at 14+ lessons per semester), which will be prorated based on enrollment. Lessons are once weekly at approximately 45-50 minutes each and can be scheduled, insomuch as possible, around the instructor’s schedule.
Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
In brief, ASMSA is tasked with providing extraordinary opportunities for a diverse group of students. Established by the General Assembly in 1991 as a public, residential high school to serve talented and motivated Arkansas juniors and seniors from throughout the state as a school of choice, ASMSA—located in historic downtown Hot Springs and adjacent to Hot Springs National Park—is one of only 17 public, residential high schools in the United States specializing in the education of students with an interest in advanced careers in math and science as well as passion for and creativity within studio arts, languages, and music. With approximately 240 enrolled students, the student-faculty ratio, schoolwide, is approximately 8:1. ASMSA offers nearly 70 courses for college credit, and all students earn an average of 30 hours of college credit while finishing high school. Graduates achieve an average ACT composite score of 31. Newsweek, The Daily Beast, and The Washington Post have ranked ASMSA among the nation’s Top 25 high schools over the past several years. Launched in earnest in 2018, the ASMSA music program includes an advanced Wind Ensemble, a Jazz Ensemble, a String Orchestra, and a Choir. The ASMSA Wind Ensemble, a 50- to 55-member outfit, has earned the 3A State Concert Contest title in consecutive years of eligibility (2024, 2026), and the ASMSA Choir program earned a 3A title in 2024. Ensembles perform consistently well at region assessment and other ASBOA functions. Students consistently place into all-region and all-state ensembles, and music-focused students take specialized coursework in music theory, history, and literature mirroring the first three to four semesters of undergraduate music school study. Lessons students undertake recitals or juries at the end of every semester. ASMSA is the only public high school in the state that provides free instrumental lessons for academic credit, and the only public high school providing free, for-credit opportunities in music composition and experimental music with an established composer.
