There is a Career Path for Every Teacher That Celebrates Your Professional Journey

Our teaching community is organized into three progressive tiers complemented by two strategic Plus+ designations. Each tier offers corresponding compensation structures and represents specific value propositions to prospective families.

Every teacher launches their BAH career at the Associate level, though we provide direct advancement to the Principal tier for educators with graduate-level credentials.

Tier progression is earned through proven teaching success, active participation in growing our educational network, strengthening our professional reputation, and meeting established advancement criteria.

Associate Teachers

• Recognizing dedicated music educators.
• More than competitive starting compensation that respects your university training and professional preparation.
• Full marketing support that positions you as the skilled educator you are.
• Professional recognition - never positioned as just a "tutor" or casual instructor.
• Association with our network and by extension, affiliation with our Elite and Principal teachers.
• A clear advancement pathway that grows with your expertise.

Principal Teachers

• Honoring experienced educators.
• Elevated compensation reflecting your proven teaching effectiveness.
• Enhanced profile prominence for families seeking seasoned professionals.
• Direct advancement available: Master's degree holders can begin here, recognizing your advanced preparation.
• Increased visibility in our community as a mentor and expert.

Elite Teachers

• Celebrating master educators.
• Premium compensation reserved for those who demonstrate exceptional dedication and results.
• Recognition as a master teacher and leader in our educational community.
• Maximum earning potential with full professional autonomy.
• Your expertise showcased as an example of excellence in music education.

The Plus+ Opportunity: Your Credentials, Your Strategy

Empowerment and protection are built into our system. Elite and Principal teachers who wish to either attract more students by being competitive or to adjust to competition can set their profile to lower tiers with the Plus+ designation. An Elite teacher can market themselves as either Associate Plus+ or Principal Plus+, and a Principal teacher can elect to use the Associate Plus+ designation.

How Plus+ Helps You Succeed:

Associate Plus+ and Principal Plus+ let you showcase your impressive qualifications while offering more competitive pricing - a powerful combination for building your dream studio.

Why Plus+ Works:

Attract More Families:

When families see a Principal Plus+ teacher with Elite-level credentials at Principal pricing, you become a clear choice offering an exceptional value.

Build Your Studio Faster:

Perfect for new markets or areas where you are establishing yourself. Use your hard-earned degrees to stand out while building a full roster of students faster.

Professional Recognition:

The Plus+ designation honors your credentials and qualifications while giving you pricing flexibility to grow strategically.

Your Success Strategy:

Transform your academic achievements into a thriving studio by offering families something truly special - top credentials with accessible pricing.

A Reality Based Safety Net:

We acknowledge that Principal and Elite pricing may not be appropriate for every market. Teachers that have done the work but for reasons of market, competition, or the need to fill a studio can opt to use the lower tiers with Plus+ designations for a competitive advantage.
