As a music tutor, I've heard this a few times and have always been skeptical. At the very least, we don't know what we don't know and it's almost impossible for a novice to know what to focus on in each stage of their development and to design a fun, relevant and effective strategy to get there.
As music educators and former (or current) music students, we know the value an experienced tutor can bring.
However, many tutors do not look at their teaching practice the same way. Having built my music school to over 140 students and generating well over ยฃ100, 000 of turnover per year, I know in hindsight it could have been a smoother journey. I've learned a lot along the way and made a lot of mistakes. I can help you get there quicker and more smoothly than I did.
Because of this, I offer help to other music teachers in all aspects of - running a music school:
- approaches to teaching
- running small groups
- dealing with schools and working as a peripatetic tutor (I did this for 10 years)
- planning and resource creation
- effective systems
- studio setups
- terms and conditions
- business structure
- setting prices
- building a team and being compliant with IR35
- websites, domain names and seo
- social media
- running concerts
- tax law and structures
I really enjoy this but as it's not my full time job (running the music school keeps me pretty busy!) I charge a fraction of most business coaches at ยฃ50 for 1-hour and ยฃ80 for 2-hours, either in person if you're local to Bushey (WD23) or on Zoom. If after 10-minutes you don't think you'll get your money's' worth, I'm even happy to stop there and refund the full fee back to you.
Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to book in your first session.
I look forward to helping you grow your business.
Best wishes,
Pete
Director, Guitar Teacher Bushey
