Build a more fun and profitable music teaching studio

Guidance and resources to help you run a fulfilling, stress-free teaching studio

Are you feeling isolated, overwhelmed and underpaid?

If you’re exhausted on Sunday because you’ve taught another 60+ hour week and tried to keep up with everything you’ve had to do, you’re going to burn out. That’s the worst thing for you… and your students.

But it’s not your fault.

As music teachers, we’ve also got to organise a complex schedule, manage cancellations, invoice parents, make sure we get paid and somehow find the time for marketing to new students. Most of us spent years honing our musical skills, but received very little business or teaching training. We “fell into” teaching when we were young and never really set ourselves up as a business.

Imagine: You teach the hours you want, enjoy family dinner, AND smile when you see your bottom line.

We're here to tell you it's possible.

Here's what some of our members had to say about their membership:

Eric

I was ready to quit

I am beyond grateful for the success that I have had in the past week. Going into the winter break and Christmas, I was pretty worried about my finances and managing my students. In the span of a week, I’ve gone from 12 to 18 students. I was on the brink of giving up and looking into other professions but now I can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. Thanks to all the support and guidance from TopMusicPro, my business is now off and running.

Janelle

The teacher I would have loved

I’ve been teaching chording to all of my students this term – it’s totally amazing what they’re doing with it. I love teaching, and I have SOOO much to learn, and I LOVE the direction I’m heading. Due to TopMusicPro, I’m becoming the teacher I would have loved to have had!! Makes me excited to get up in the morning. I’m grateful for all you offer – it’s totally changed my professional life.

Di

It’s helped me become more adaptable

I have used many ideas from the business and the creative areas, including your No Book Beginners and 4 Chord Composing Courses. All have helped me feel more up to date and helped me feel motivated to keep involved in the industry. Apart from my home students I teach music at a private school too so I feel like I have to please a wide customer base. Giving teachers like me the ability to adapt to different circumstances and student needs is what this community is all about.

Lori

After 30 years, I’m still evolving.

I cannot tell you how much this site means to me. I am learning so much, and I’m evolving as a teacher. I have always been creative, but I didn’t have the basic knowledge of chords and the circle of 5ths and improv; I was strictly classically trained from a teacher who felt that chords belonged in bars! I have tried through the years to educate myself through different sites on my questions about chords, playing by ear, and I just didn’t find anything good. I am so so grateful that I found you!! So are my students! It’s exciting to grow and learn…I’ve been teaching piano for 30 years…I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!

Alicen

I doubled my student numbers!

The TopMusicPro is fantastic. I used the Online Studio Launchpad Course to create my own website a couple of months ago and doubled my student numbers. Thanks so much for all your great courses – they are having a HUGE impact in my studio.
