‘It’s so hard to attract new students as a music teacher’

a pianist friend once said to me. ‘What did you do until now to attract new students?’ I asked in return. ‘Nothing… really’ she replied hesitantly.

There are many people looking for music lessons. Although I don’t accept new private students at the moment for live violin lessons, I get requests all the time.

Students who are looking for violin lessons (and music lessons in general) simply don’t find a teacher… and at the same time teachers are complaining they don’t get new students and can’t pay the bills.

The way to gap this bridge is… marketing! Yes, you might find this a dirty word as a passionate musician and teacher, but you need to do something in order for the right students you love working with to find you. Don’t stay the best kept secret.
