How do i become a college teaching assistant?

We Answered:

Teaching Assistants are almost always graduate students at the institution doing part time work. The scope of the work, responsibility, and pay varies from working five hours a week doing marking, to working twenty or more hours a week lecturing and doing all marking for one section of a large course. Being a TA while in graduate school is a useful way to get teaching experience if your eventual goal is to teach in a college or university. Occasionally, undergraduate students are hired as TAs, with limited duties in introductory courses.

It would be unusual for someone not currently a student to have a TA appointment, because generally the TA income is considered as a major source of support for graduate students. There may, however, be some employment in a university academic department for someone who isn't a student - "academic assistant" or "curriculum assistant" or "adjunct lecturer" or "lab demonstrator" are job classifications I'd look for.

So, I guess the answer to the first question is to apply to do a master's degree. Any department with large-enrolment undergraduate courses is going to hire TAs. And TA is not a career, but it can be a useful bit of experience on the way to a college teaching career.

what are some colleges for teaching music theory?

We Answered:

You say "what are some colleges for teaching music theory?" This sounds like you're asking where you can teach music theory. If that's the case, take one step at a time. First, figure out where you're going to go to school. Every college with a music program will have music theory classes, and that's something you can look at when you're closer to getting your degree.
If you're asking where you should go to school, that's a completely different question. There are a lot of factors to consider: do you want to a state or private school. You'll have to go to a really good school if you want to teach at the college level. I'd suggest talking to your high school guidance counselor or your music teacher about what your options are.
Good luck.
