Weebly for a Free & Easy Website - 

I use Weebly for creating this website and it could not be easier. Weebly is a web hosting service featuring a drag-and-drop website builder which is very intuitive. The basic plan is free.

​Here is a LINK. 

Canva for Free & Easy Graphics - 

If Weebly is easy to use then Canva is even easier and their slogan is "to make design simple for everyone." Canva is an online graphic design website that I use almost everyday - all of the graphics on this website were made in minutes with Canva. If you want to buy an image they are only $1/each but there is so much for free that you don't even need to spend any money. Many of you have Facebook pages for your studio and this would be a handy service for your Facebook posts.

The Handbook of Marketing Strategies for Music Teachers: 88 Free and Low Cost Ways to Book Your Studio Full -

 Violin/Viola teacher Bree Lewis-Fennell wrote this book for any teacher trying to grow their studio and I believe it is a solid investment. I normally would not spend $45 on an eBook but the strategies truly did work for me and the resource paid for itself. Bree's husband is in the military and they move every 2-3 years and with this she has mastered the art of quickly building entire studios in all of her new locations.

​I found the approaches doable and in alignment with my value system meaning nothing felt like I had to twist myself into something I wasn't just to recruit new students.

​Learn her success strategies for quickly building your teaching studio in this online handbook: The Handbook of Marketing Strategies for Music Teachers: 88 Free and Low Cost Ways to Book Your Studio Full.

Studio Policies and Pledges -

I can not recommend enough the importance of having clear policies for your studio. Whenever I hear about a teacher unexpectedly losing a student and thus their income it breaks my heart because it was likely preventable had there been clear studio policies in place. I am sharing the policies I used below but am adding a disclaimer that I adjust mine every year based on the needs of the studio. I also included the pledge I used for parent/student/teacher. With this pledge we all agreed to a set of standards that would optimize the experience for all parties involved and then signed these in front of each other.
