Employment at HMT

Thanks for your interest in employment at House of Musical Traditions! Please read this information before following the link at the bottom of the page to fill out our online job application.

HMT is a small independent music retail shop located in Takoma Park, MD.  We do not operate on a commission system and offer a fun, supportive, interesting and somewhat flexible work environment. We are looking for friendly, outgoing people with some level of music experience.

Currently, our staff is about 10 people. Most employees work part-time, 2-4 days per week, with subbing opportunities available. Sales floor employees cover many different aspects of a retail business, including customer service for all instrument & accessory types, inventory, minor repairs, data entry, rentals, ordering and more. Because our training process is extensive, we generally do not hire for short periods of time such as summer-only or just for the holiday season. Prospective staff members should be interested in long-term employment at HMT. Two exceptions are 1) booth staff for the annual MD Renaissance Festival, and 2) we occasionally hire extra help for "band/orchestra rental season" in September/October. You may indicate on your application if you are interested in these opportunities.
