Music Teaching Made Profitable

“One of the biggest challenges facing Music Teachers around the
world is knowing how to run the business side of their studio.
Teacher training courses seldom teach these skills, leaving musicians
woefully unprepared for success in a competitive industry. Even
more distressing is hearing older teachers actively discouraging
graduates from setting up studios because of their own struggles to
make ends meet. Well, all this is about to change with the release
of Wendy’s new book: Music Teaching Made Profitable, a resource
that will change people’s perceptions of how they can generate a
more reliable, steady income from music teaching and how to grow
a more profitable business to support them in the future.”

“Each instrumental teacher is in fact their
own small music business. Learning
how to run their business effectively is a
vital endeavour, and an often overlooked
one. In Music Teaching Made Profitable,
music business owners learn about the
different stages of music studio growth, various elements to consider
at each stage and how to achieve growth. Wendy generously shares
her experiences as an instrumental teacher, music studio owner and
business coach for anyone who seeks a clearer path through the
Music Studio Business world!”

“Wendy came to talk to teachers at our pedagogy conference
about how they could build their teaching practices into successful
businesses. Her presentation was so well received that we invited
her back to advise our teachers on strategies for creating their own
teaching programmes. Her ideas were inspirational and easily
tailored to each teacher’s unique goals and aspirations.
Wendy’s new book is a comprehensive and practical guide to
business success, gleaned from her own multifaceted experience as a
musician, teacher, author, publisher and business owner. I encourage
all Music Teachers to read it!”

“Instrumental Music Teachers start out with a love of music and
performance skills, and wanting to share their knowledge and skills
with others beginning a career in teaching. Most however have little
or no knowledge of the business skills necessary to facilitate this
career path. Wendy Brentnall-Wood’s book fills a much needed
niche; I would recommend it for all teachers to expand their business
knowledge both starting out and growing a music teaching practice.”

“Teaching music is a labour of love, and this book has a wealth of
information on setting up the ideal conditions for music teaching
studios to thrive. Wendy Brentnall-Wood shares her in-depth
knowledge and writes with experience and enthusiasm. A great read
and essential reference for all Music Teachers.”

“I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone who wants help
with growing their music business. Wendy has been working in the
music teaching business for years (over 30 I think) and is a wealth
of knowledge on everything to do with running a music teaching
business. She is never one to sit still and is always looking at ways to
extend and improve. She is highly efficient, a great communicator,
extremely reliable and has a great personality. She has now become
my mentor and I feel very lucky to have her there to guide me along
my musical journey”.
