The Conservatory at Highlands, a cool new music school in Newton Highlands, is currently looking for high school students who would like to work in a fun and fast-paced environment, while gaining valuable hands-on experience in the field of music.
Interns should be friendly, organized, reliable, and self-driven, and enjoy working with people. Interns will greet students and parents as they arrive at The Conservatory, answer the phone, and do other office tasks as directed by our staff. Depending on the interest of the intern, other projects may be assigned, such as creating marketing materials or working in the recording studio. Interns may also be asked to distribute Conservatory flyers at various sporting and other events around Newton on the weekends.
Although internships are unpaid, interns are welcome to work on homework, practice an instrument, and use The Conservatory facilities and recording studio while on the job.
