ith most teaching studios across the U.S. full, with waiting lists, one might
think that teaching piano would be a reasonably easy occupation to earn
a living in. However, that's not usually the case, for several reasons. Especially when teaching piano is your sole source of
income, reducing costs and getting adequately remunerated for your time
become not merely goals, but requirements.
It's both hard and undesirable to skimp
on the quality of the lessons a teacher provides, but running a teaching
studio has a lot more costs associated with it than just giving the lessons.
Printing of newsletters and other informational documents, buying supplies
and music, piano tuning, advertising, paying for refreshments and hall space for recitals, and many
other aspects of running a studio consume time and money. In this article, I'll discuss
many different tips for reducing the costs associated with running your
studio, at least some of which should be applicable in most studios. You'll still have to give lessons, but, if you follow these tips,
you'll make more money!
