Running a music teaching business
A music teacher sells half an hour at an instrument, repeated every week of term for years on end. Nothing else on this site has a unit that small or a relationship that long and almost every problem in the trade comes out of that combination.
The half hour rate is not the hourly rate
Thirty pounds for thirty minutes reads like sixty an hour and very rarely is. Teaching in pupils' homes puts ten minutes in the car between each one, so five lessons occupy four hours and pay for two and a half of them.
Teaching from one room reverses that completely. The same five pupils arrive back to back, the piano never moves and the afternoon holds eight lessons instead of five. For a teacher who currently drives, it is the single largest change in earnings available.
Where travel has to happen, cluster it. One village on a Tuesday and another on a Thursday is worth more than an efficient looking diary that crosses the county twice in a day.
What fills the half hours nobody wants
- Adult beginners, who are free during the day and rarely want an evening
- Home educated pupils, who will happily take a Tuesday morning at the full rate
- Paired lessons for two pupils at a similar stage, which pay better per hour than either alone
- Theory in a small group, which is one hour of preparation sold several times over
- Accompanying, which is a separate skill and deserves a separate invoice
- Ensemble coaching in a school, which fills a daytime block on one invoice
The teaching calendar and what runs on it
| Part of the year | What is happening | What has to be done inside it |
|---|---|---|
| September | New pupils, a rebuilt timetable and everybody back | Fix the standing slots for the term and collect for the term |
| Autumn term | Steady teaching and the winter exam entries | Enter pupils, book an accompanist, collect exam fees up front |
| Christmas | Concerts, carol work and paid engagements | Sell the spring term before anybody leaves for the holidays |
| Spring term | The heaviest exam season and the fastest progress | Watch the pupils stalling rather than the ones flying |
| July and August | Teaching stops very nearly altogether | Run summer courses or accept two months without fee income |
A teacher billing per lesson has two months a year with nothing coming in. A teacher billing monthly across twelve has the same annual fee spread over a year the family already understands.
Where the money leaks in a teaching week
- Exam entry fees and accompanist fees paid from your own account and reclaimed in dribs
- A pupil cancelling on the day for a hockey fixture that has existed since August
- Books, reeds, rosin and photocopies bought for pupils and itemised on nothing
- A half hour taught for forty five minutes every week because the piece was nearly there
- A leaver at Christmas, from a slot you cannot refill until the following September
The grades are why they stay and why they quit
A pupil with an exam eleven weeks away practises. A pupil with no date drifts and drifting appears as a cancelled Wednesday long before anybody uses the word stopping.
The wall is theory. Plenty of pupils who love playing stall the moment progress depends on paperwork. That is a retention problem wearing a syllabus costume. Teachers who see it coming put theory in early and in a group, where it is cheaper for the family and much less lonely for the pupil.
Keep repertoire, grades and entry deadlines on a record rather than in a notebook by the piano. A missed entry deadline costs a term of momentum and the pupil never blames the deadline.
Built for music teachers
Each of these sits in the same account, so a booking, its payment and the client record stay together.
Online lesson booking
Pupils or parents book a lesson from your page, at the lengths you teach.
Recurring weekly slots
A pupil's half hour on a Wednesday repeats every week without you rebooking it.
Saved card charged before each lesson
For a repeating slot, the card on file is charged in the days before each lesson, so fees are never chased.
Card payments up front
One off lessons are paid when they are booked.
Automated reminders
A reminder before each lesson, so the instrument and the practice book turn up too.
Pupil and parent records
Book under the parent and keep the pupil's grade, pieces and progress in notes.
Clear answers before you switch
The details that usually slow down a move: setup, pricing, bookings, records and how Youzse fits into your day.
Yes. Single lessons are paid at booking. A weekly slot charges a saved card before each lesson. To take a whole term at once, send a payment link for it.
