How To Teach Piano Successfully
By FineTuned Productions Inc
If you want to teach piano successfully you have to define the term "success". Teaching piano successfully is more than helping your student master ear training, or how to play duets. If you want to teach piano successfully you have to approach your business like a business person and not like a music lover who also happens to be tutoring the next Frédéric Chopin. But therein lies the first problem.
You could spend your lifetime searching the curriculum at business schools and never find a course entitled "How to Teach Piano Successfully." They just don't take the industry that seriously in college.
But you should take it seriously unless the reason you became a piano instructor was that you had a songful spirit and a spare Steinway taking up space in your living room. If that's not the case, then you probably depend upon the income that you earn from teaching piano students how to tickle the ivory. And if you're like most every piano instructor I know, that income is substantially less that it could be.
It doesn't matter if you teach piano lessons part-time or full; there are proven business methods that can substantially increase your income without dramatically increasing the number of Billy Joel or Elton John or Stevie Wonder "wannabees" hitting the music books under your able direction.
The secret to how to teach piano successfully is the secret of how to increase your per-hour wage, attract more and better students who can afford to pay your new rates, and how to successfully market your service proactively.
And take my word for it; if you start marketing your service proactively, your business will practically explode overnight because you'll probably be the only piano teacher in your market who is doing so!
While what I am proposing is simple Business 101 for most other business operators, the concept of marketing and planning to teach piano successfully still hasn't caught on.
If placing an ad in the telephone book, and pining your business card on the cork board in the local grocery store is the extent of your advertising, you're working much too hard for what you do earn. And, you're leaving far too much potential profit on the table.
It's time to start running your business like a business and it's time to start maximizing your profit from every pupil who sits down at your baby grand. It's not hard. In fact, there is a small group of piano teachers who have learned how to teach piano successfully and they're earning what they deserve instead of simply settling for what they can get.
Perhaps it's time for you to take your piano teaching business to the next level and stop playing it by ear. All you have to do is learn some of the insider secrets that are known by the very few piano teachers who are wildly successful financially, and you too could end up joining this elite group who understand how to teach piano successfully.
