Setting Up An Independent Music Teaching Studio

Few music degree programs prepare new music teachers to run their own small business. But that’s what independent music teachers do! They create an environment that inspires students, promotes hard work and the creation of art, and reflects their values as an educator. And they have to do all of that while collecting payments, scheduling lessons and communicating with parents. In this course, you will learn to: How to discover your values as a teacherHow to build structure into your business planningHow to set up your physical studio spaceHow to create traditions in your studio that foster community and encouragementHow to interact with parents as clientsHow to set a tuition plan and calendar schedule that work for youHow to create a pedagogical planHow to make your lessons flowHow to be an effective note takerHow to interact as a musician with your broader communityWith a 20-30 minute video, slide deck and homework assignment for each module, veteran cello teacher Brittany Gardner will lead new (or experienced!) you through a journey of self-assessment, alignment and growth as you explore how to take your music teaching studio to the next level. Brought to you in partnership with studio management software provider Duet Partner, this course will help all music teachers focus on the music, not the management.
