Tom Hess: maximise your guitar teaching potential

How To Instantly Improve Your Guitar Teaching Business:

Are you struggling to be a highly successful guitar teacher? Do you want to have more new dedicated students who remain committed for the long term, but your methods are not working as effectively as you would like them to? Are you unhappy because most students don't reach their musical goals and/or an advanced level of guitar playing? Are you unable to support yourself and your family with your guitar teaching income? Are you not earning the money you would like to?

Most guitar teachers struggle with at least some of the areas mentioned above. Many years ago, I was no different. I used to have a difficult time balancing the challenges of trying to help more students, become a more effective guitar teacher, grow my teaching income, and have time left at the end of the day. When I began teaching guitar, I had only a few students and struggled to support myself on teaching income only. My biggest challenges were getting consistent results with different types of students, having reliable systems in place for attracting more students and keeping my existing students from quitting before reaching their musical goals. I also couldn't see an effective way to increase my income other than increasing the number of hours I taught or raising my lesson rates to very high levels.
