the mission of robknopper.com

the mission of robknopper.com is to teach keen and motivated musicians how to overcome their struggles and achieve their dream life: a successful career in music.

we stock the interwebs with captivating and ultra high quality educational content so that every innocent web-surfing experience can lead to a musical breakthrough for students in every corner of the world.

who i’m looking for:

on team auditionhacker, we run a WHOLE bunch of platforms.

how it works is that first i have a teaching idea, then i talk at the camera, and then i hand it off to my team. you'll join the team that helps me to bring those ideas to students in many different places and formats.

i'll write a little bit more in depth about what qualifications you need for each position below, but in general i'm looking for the type of person who:

isn't afraid of technology,
is willing to learn how to do new things,
can handle deadlines and stress,
has great attention to detail,
is on instagram, facebook, and maybe even twitter,
is super fluent in american english slang (and can speak in the auditionhacker tone and style),
works well with others,
is highly organized and moves quickly,
can recognize when they can’t do something,
loves learning new things and can implement new ideas quickly,
can handle direct & blunt feedback…. and doesn’t need to be coddled, and
is willing to watch or listen to training resources and implement them.

it’s important for whoever i hire to also be on a mission. my mission is to impact students all over the world and clear the way for them to practice and win a job. it’s to fundamentally change the way that teachers teach and students learn.

what kind of video editor?

i need someone who's passionate about finding new ways to help students learn about percussion and auditions, especially on instagram.

the way a video should be designed for youtube is different from how it can work for instagram when someone is blankly scrolling through their feed.

if you're experimental, if you're curious about how a post might do, and if you're fascinated with the quest of finding the best way to help students, this is the right job for you.

you don't have to be a percussionist, but it helps.

i'm looking for someone who...

has made videos in some capacity before,
wants to experiment with all the new video-making apps,
has basic graphic design skills,
has some aesthetic sense, and
keeps up with new trends in instagram, youtube, facebook, and twitter videos.
extra credit if you're a percussionist who keeps up with the percussion industry accounts.
