inBachs / Building A Stable Teaching Studio

Hey friends,

If you're new here, welcome! inBachs is your weekly reminder that building a thriving private music lesson studio is totally possible and worth it. Whether you teach 5 students or 50, this is your corner of the internet for staying grounded and strategic in your business.

Today, we’re zooming out a bit.

We talk a lot about marketing, policies, and pricing, but underneath all that, there’s a deeper goal that doesn't always get talked about:

Creating a stable, sustainable business that supports your life, not drains it. That means:

• Building in systems that help you stay organized (even if you're a team of one)

• Choosing strategies that work in good times and in economic downturns

• Embracing the fact that you're not just a teacher, you’re a business owner with a vision

Here are some topics we’ve gone deeper into previously:

The music pedagogue in 2025 has more opportunity than ever to shape their career: private lessons, online content, group programs, performing, school partnerships, you name it. But success doesn’t come from doing everything, it comes from building something stable, simple, and strong.
