Build a more fun and profitable music teaching businessGuidance and resources to help you run a fulfilling, stress-free teaching studio |
Are you feeling isolated, overwhelmed and underpaid?If you’re exhausted on Sunday because you’ve taught another 60+ hour week and tried to keep up with everything you’ve had to do, you’re going to burn out. That’s the worst thing for you… and your students. But it’s not your fault. As music teachers, we’ve also got to organise a complex schedule, manage cancellations, invoice parents, make sure we get paid and somehow find the time for marketing to new students. Most of us spent years honing our musical skills, but received very little business or teaching training. We “fell into” teaching when we were young and never really set ourselves up as a business. Imagine: You teach the hours you want, enjoy family dinner, AND smile when you see your bottom line. We’re here to tell you it’s possible. |

A life-changing communityThe TopMusicPro has been LIFE-CHANGING for me. It has helped improve my piano teaching and has actually made me enjoy teaching piano just as much as I enjoy teaching voice! I’ve been going through the 4 Chord Composing Course myself and the way you teach chords and progressions is making soooo much sense to me. I am looooving TopMusicPro. It has been 100% worth the investment and both my students and I are benefitting from it tremendously. Amanda |
“
It’s helped me become more adaptableI have used many ideas from the business and the creative areas, including your No Book Beginners and 4 Chord Composing Courses. All have helped me feel more up to date and helped me feel motivated to keep involved in the industry. Apart from my home students I teach music at a private school too so I feel like I have to please a wide customer base. Giving teachers like me the ability to adapt to different circumstances and student needs is what this community is all about. Di |
