Module 1: Foundations

Here we'll walk through the most essential elements of EVERY teaching business, and the key decisions you need to make early on. Even if you change course later, these elements need to be in place before you start, and you need to be consciously aware of them and the roles they play in your business.

Foundations

Components of a Teaching Business

These are the absolute essentials you need to know and constantly pay attention to in your music teaching business. It’s important that you do the following to consistently work ON your business, and don’t solely work IN your business (creating & teaching lessons).

Defining Your Niche & Target Student

Many music teachers make the mistake of trying to reach everyone with a guitar and a wallet. Often, the claim to teach "all styles" is rooted solely in the fear of turning someone off. But NOT EVERYONE is a student you WANT, nor are they all students that YOU are the best option for. And ultimately, this all depends on YOU.

Subscription vs. One-Off Lessons

In this lesson we'll discuss your default payment structure, and we'll weigh the pros and cons of offering lessons by subscription vs one-off payment. Plus, we'll cover how to offer flexible pricing while actually achieving greater value for your students AND better leverage of your time.
