Nate and I have been doing a live Q&A episodes every month for most of this year.

In this episode, we tackle a number of important questions from YOU… our listeners!

Here are 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 of caring teachers?
• What percentage of tuition should teachers receive?
• How do I motivate students to practice independently?

Once again, we ran out of time before we could answer all of the questions…

So, we’ll air another batch of questions in (roughly) four to five weeks from now.

Here are the resources we mentioned in the episode above…

Episode 08 | Struggling to Find Teachers for Your Music School? | Do you struggle to find teachers when you have a position to fill in your school? Do you get few or no applicants? Does it seem like quality teachers are hard to find? That the talent pool is shrinking? If so, we have solutions for you in this episode of 7-Figure Music School!

Episode 11 | How to Retain Students When Teachers Quit (Step-By-Step) | What typically happens when one of your hired teachers quits? You lose students! So – how do you minimize the damage? How do you replace that teacher quickly? In this episode, we give a step-by-step system for keeping students… even when they lose a teacher.

Episode 49 | What % of Tuition Should Teachers Keep? | What percentage of lesson fees should your teaching team keep? Or – an even better question – should you pay them a percentage… or an hourly rate? What about benefits? Should you pay teachers to attend meetings and training? It turns out that the question of teacher pay is actually a lot more nuanced than simply deciding on a “flat percentage” of lesson fees…

Episode 67 | Don’t Lose Students That You Love! | It’s painful to lose students that you love. Students that show a lot of talent and promise. No, this is not another episode about retention. We’re talking about laying out a proactive vision for students… enrolling them into an experience… A vision and experience so rich that quitting would never cross their mind.

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones | This breakthrough book from James Clear is the most comprehensive guide on how to change your habits and get 1% better every day.

We’d love to hear from you… what was your big takeaway this episode? What questions do you have?

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).
