Thank you in advance for your referrals or application! Whether staff member or not, we are happy to offer you the $500 referral bonus during your referrals’ 90th day of employment :)!

About ISM:

We were founded in 2004 with a mission to give students the skills necessary for a lifetime enjoyment of music. Our school offers music lessons for various instruments 7 days a week, with over 350 students enrolled for either in person or virtual lessons and over 25 world class faculty on staff. We offer several unique enrichment programs tailored with student and teacher success in mind, including a 24 level medal achievement program, a practice incentive program, and optional performance opportunities.

Our students also have had the opportunity to perform at professional venues with our Annual World Class Performance Opportunity. For example, we’ve performed at Carnegie Hall in New York in 2017, Kennedy Center in Washington DC in 2018, Segerstrom Center for the Arts in 2019, and as the world returns to live, in-person performances, we will soon be unveiling this year’s world class performance opportunity!
