5.0 out of 5 stars A common sense approach to teaching music lessons, July 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Money Teaching Music (Paperback)
This is a very comprehensive guide to teaching music. All the chapters are easy to read and divided into good sections, and offers many good ideas on how to teach various grade levels from elementary to adult, and more important, how to deal with their parents. It also covers school and community programs, as well as ideas on how to promote yourself (i.e. business cards and portfolios) and necessary lesson items to keep in your trunk. The chapter on taxes was helpful for me also. A very good book for someone wanting to start their own teaching studio, to teach band or community programs, or to simply pick up a few students for some extra money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for new teachers and pro-teachers alike, November 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Money Teaching Music (Paperback)
I have been teaching private music lessons for about 10 years now and had I had this book when I started out I don't think I would have made the mistakes I made. I still use it as a reference (it is always next to my piano). I found the chapters re: recruiting, finances and getting set up were crucial and very informative. Having this book also gave me the extra confidence when it came to quitting my other jobs and teaching private lessons full-time.

A definite "must-have" if you are currently teaching or if you are thinking about teaching in a private studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful resource..., April 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Money Teaching Music (Paperback)
This book is a must if you are serious about starting your own business as a music teacher. I found that the chapter on taxes and finances especially helpful. There is an appendix at the end of the book that lists addresses and phone numbers for various music organizations.
