Hi,

Thanks for the free tips. I’m currently just starting out with this whole private teaching thing – I am a dance teacher and would love to learn more on how to sign-up my first students.

Thank you

I never know what is working best as far as students. Some things have worked in the past but don’t work now. I would like a presence in the schools, somehow to get to them to get to me.

Will,

It very often feels as if the amount of work it takes to advertise and do all the legwork to get students outweighs the number of students who actually begin lessons.

I’d like to change this.

Most of my students have found me through referrals from other students. These students usually work out well. What frustrates me in finding new students is I have problems finding ones who are willing to practice.

Too many want to learn to play the piano but aren’t willing to do the work. I want students who are committed to learning. They are far and few between.

Gave me a good kick in the pants to go out there and start marketing online. Have two new students already, and it’s only been a couple of days.

Thanks,
Cameron

The tip given was very useful, I used it. I’d like to learn more about advertising and networking online for private studio music teachers.

As a full time private music instructor I’m always looking for students. I think this program will be a great service and benefit. I do agree that more and more are using the internet to search for instructors and I look forward to working with. Thanks Will

Hi Will,

There are too many lousy teachers cluttering the market with low prices. Anything to help me get more students would be great!

Will,

Thanks for the great report. I liked the section that talked on ‘features and benefits’ and the how knowing the difference between them can help sell my lessons to more people. I actually never thought about this before. It makes sense and I will definitely want to try it out this year to see a change.

Thank you

You can feel free to let me have one of those free memberships… LOL

I’ve had 3 people that found me on the WEB but didn’t read my page as to my availablilty for them. I’ve had 6 people recently call me but just shopping the price and not the skill I have to teach! And the number one frustration is not enough students you currently or have taught refer you usually. And I do groups to attract private students and too many people want something for less than it’s value monetarily. GROUP LESSONS ARE A NICE WAY TO START AS A BEGINNER But they don’t work in the long haul.
