BUT sometimes you just need students and money ASAP. If you are there, check out the top 5 Ways you can get students in the door NOW. These always worked for our studio. Keep doing the work, being consistent, and they will come! Actually, let's get you there SOON...
but in a way that doesn't stress you out or cause you to overwork and end up in the opposite direction: More money but no time. You CAN have time and money. You CAN get to the point where you are able to focus on your favorite part of running your music school! We can get you there. Music Teacher Bootcamp starts in 5 days.

 MOST music teachers undercharge for lessons. I think it's because as teachers, we care more about giving our students the gift of music than the money we make from it. THOSE hearts are what make us great teachers! The problem is this: If we don't make enough money for our hard work, we eventually burn out. We can also become consumed with worry about how to pay bills... Which means we're NOT giving our students our "A" game. Not to mention the fact that we're undervaluing ourselves, making others undervalue music lessons, and negatively impacting our self- esteem... In fact, I think all of our TSC Members have raised their rates AT LEAST once! And if you're wondering if they had a mass exodus of students or anything from it...

 Let's talk about chasing payments...
Stop it. It's time to take yourself and your business seriously. No more accepting individual payments for individual lessons. No more accepting multiple payment methods and using cash apps like Zelle or Venmo. (Did you know it's actually illegal to use a lot of these cash apps for business transactions?) Stop chasing payments and set up auto pay. There's a smooth way you can transition your students into an automatic payment plan. And honestly? Your students and parents will appreciate and respect it. Download your free guide on how to set up auto payments in your studio. We've also included a template you can use to get started on your contract for auto payments!  Make ups.
Whether you do them or not, scheduling them can be tense and stressful. So... what's the answer? It doesn't matter if you offer make ups or not! And I'm not going to tell you what to do here because NO two studios are alike. I can tell you, however, what makes YOUR make-up lessons stressful is:
Let's talk about 3 different make up options you can choose from to make your make up lessons run seamlessly. You can choose any of the 3 options that work best for YOU and your studio!
