We partner with band and orchestra directors to help their students succeed — from first rentals to advanced instruments and repairs.
Our job is simple:
Set up musicians for success.
The Role
This role is often called a
road rep .
At Kincaid’s, you’re more than that.
You are a
trusted partner to music educators
— helping their programs grow, their students succeed, and their lives get easier.
This is
not a sit-behind-a-desk job.
You’ll spend your time in schools, working directly with directors, students, and parents.

Visit band and orchestra programs across your territory
Build strong relationships with music educators
Help run instrument fittings and parent/rental nights
Guide students into the right instruments
Support step-up and upgrade conversations
Coordinate repairs and solve problems quickly
Maintain and grow existing school partnerships
Prospect and add new school accounts
When something breaks or goes wrong,
you’re the person they call — and you make it right.
What Success Looks Like
A great Music Education Specialist:
Becomes a
trusted partner
to music educators
Helps directors
grow their programs
Ensures students have the
right tools to succeed
Solves problems quickly and professionally
Communicates clearly and consistently
When this happens, directors stop seeing you as a vendor.
They see you as
part of their team.
Who This is For
You’ll do well here if you:
Have a background in
band or orchestra
Enjoy building relationships and being around people
Are organized, dependable, and self-driven
Can manage your own schedule and territory
This role is a strong fit for:
Music education majors or educators
Performers who enjoy working with people

on students and music programs
Work independently with a
flexible schedule
Build long-term relationships in your community
Be part of a team that truly
loves musicians

Ready to Make a Difference in Music Education?
We're hiring ahead of the upcoming school year and interviewing immediately.
Join us in helping children begin and advance in instrumental music!
Compensation: $55,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year
Who Is Kincaid's Music?
Kincaid's is the premier community for student musicians, their parents, and music education professionals. It's a place where you can purchase your band & orchestra instruments and accessories, have your instrument repaired, as well as learn the tools and strategies to help musicians reach their full potential. With tens of thousands of customers in Ohio and around the United States, we've become one of the most trusted voices in school music and music education.
What We Do
We take the difficulty out of obtaining an instrument for your child and make it easy to obtain the necessary accessories to keep it playing great.
We make an instrumental music education accessible to EVERY CHILD.
As experts in music education, we can help guide student musicians, as well as their parents and music educators.
Why We Do It
We're on a mission to increase the number of children we help begin and advance in instrumental music by 50% in the next five years. Why? Because
we believe in the power that music has to change the life of a child
- just like yours - for the better. We do it because of
parents like you who want to set your children up for success
in every area of life. And we do it for the
educators who work hard every day to make music a reality
in our schools and communities.
We Believe...
...music is a movement - every child should have the opportunity to learn.
...anyone
can
learn music (even those who say they can’t carry a tune in a bucket).
...music is unlike most other skills in that it can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
...the top three factors for becoming a strong instrumental musician are great educators, supportive parents/guardians, and the intrinsic desire of the student to learn.
...companies who prioritize making a buck over helping children succeed in music don’t deserve to succeed, themselves.
...laughter
is
the best medicine, though it’s in a tie for “best” with music.
...in finding the win/win in every situation - our customers don't have to lose so we can win, nor do we have to win at the expense of our customers.
...no one has all the answers.
...in knowing what others don’t and doing what others won’t.
...we can help school bands and orchestras grow and succeed.
...everyone should learn something new every day.
We believe in the extraordinary power of music!
