From time to time the Marin Community Music School has the need for additional teachers. Students at the school vary from beginner to advanced, and from ages 6 to 80. Styles taught are varied, from classical to rock, blues, and folk. MCMS receives requests for lessons from students and/or parents, and teachers arrange their own schedules at the school. There are five teaching studios. Lessons can be scheduled during the day or evening on weekdays, or on weekends (except during scheduled group class times).
If you are interested in teaching at MCMS, please consider sending us your resume. We require previous teaching experience and formal music training, preferably with a Bachelors degree in music, and/or equivalent professional performing experience. Currently we are looking for qualified teachers for flute and voice.

Janet Lewis’ expertise in financial management makes her a valuable addition to the MCMS board. She received her MBA from the University of California at Berkeley, and has worked in local non-profit financial management for many years. Janet’s children were among the first students to study at the Marin Community Music School when it opened in 2009. Janet plays the cello and enjoys playing chamber music – especially playing in a trio with her fellow board members, violinist Lois Lane and pianist Adrienne Roth.
Lois Lane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a longstanding psychotherapy practice in San Anselmo where she sees individuals and couples. She was also supervisor of Children’s Services for Marin County Community Mental Health. Her other longstanding avocation has been playing music. She was fortunate enough to study violin from a young age at Third Street Music Settlement School in Manhattan. In a public high school in New Jersey she participated in a regular orchestra, a string orchestra and played in a string quartet. This early enrichment led to a life long love of playing the violin, taking lessons and making music with others. She is very grateful to participate in the Chamber Music Program at MCMS. Her goal as a Board Member is to strengthen the music programs at MCMS so other children can have the opportunity to discover the joys of making music.
In her spare time she is an avid gardener, with a large organic vegetable garden.
Long-time San Anselmo resident Adrienne Roth has had two careers, one in education and another in real estate, as well as a life-long passion for music. As an educator, she aided in the development of the California legislation that enabled the California Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program and subsequently administered the GATE program for the San Anselmo schools. She moved into real estate sales with Merrill Lynch, and has been a broker with Frank Howard Allen, now Coldwell Banker, since 1985.
Adrienne earned her Bachelor of Arts degree at Brandeis University, majoring in psychology and minoring in music, and her Master of Education degree at Harvard University. She plays the piano.
music lessons, chamber music coaching, and performance for students of all ages.
