Business Building 101 — summer cohort forming now!

If you're ready to start or revamp your studio with a solid business foundation, this course was made for you. We’re forming a new cohort now, kicking things off on June 2.

In Business Building 101, we’ll tackle the essential questions every music studio owner faces, like:

🎯 How do I set my rates with confidence?
📋 How do I create (and enforce) studio policies that stop makeup lesson chaos?
📆 How do I protect my income during slower seasons—like summer?
💡 Should I offer discounts or scholarships—and how do I do it sustainably?
🏢 What’s an LLC—and should I form one?
…and so much more.

What past participants are saying:

“EXACTLY what I was looking for…organized and easy to follow…a necessary course for any musician wanting to own their own successful studio.” – Sophie
“Helped me see the financial viability of my business plan…well worth the investment.” – Rachel
