When I think about building a music school to 1000+ in enrollment…

My default question would be:

“Well, what kind of marketing are we going to have to do to get that many students?”

For Vera (our guest today on the 7FMS podcast), that was not her default question.

Her focus was on crafting such a unique experience that students and parents alike stayed for years and years.

She created such a powerhouse of an educational program that she had people commuting 90 minutes to come to her school.

In today’s episode, Vera talks about the unique challenges and lessons learned in building a single-location school with 1000+ students.
