We did another live Q&A episode!

Here’s today’s questions:

• How do I handle a key teacher's summer absence?
• How do I hire committed and reliable teachers?
• How do I build a community amongst my teaching staff?
• What percentage of tuition should teachers receive?
• How do I motivate students to practice independently?

Now’s the time of year to consider what programs you are going to be offering in your music studio this fall…

And if you are looking for a program that will:

• Increase student retention…
• Increase the number of your beginners that become intermediate students…
• Help students go through their books faster (Proven! We did a study on this!)...
• Increase home practice time (Proven! We have years of data showing that this happens)
• And increase the profit in your studio (not just revenue)…

… Then you need to head over to GroupLessons.com, sign up for a free demo, and we’ll show you how hundreds of studios have easily started a new group program (sometimes in just a few weeks)... with little to no difficulty.

You can even begin our owner training for free (download our shopping list, and look through our teacher guides and method).

A listener sent in a question and a REAL LIFE dilemma she faced.

She was presented an opportunity to take her studio out of her home… but it would require her taking a financial risk and investing in a commercial location.

This is a different kind of episode… instead of Nate and I giving theoretical advice about expansion, scale, investment, and investing in a location…

Every once in a while, we highlight a specific element of Brooklyn Music Factory’s strategy… and today we’re going to do that again.

In this episode, we spotlight the “One Sheet”... a tool used at Brooklyn Music Factory to:

1. Promote their programs externally
2. Provide information to parents internally
3. Grow their programs
4. Make sure that their teachers stay “on mission”
