inBachs / Building a Thriving Studio from Scratch in Under a Year

1. Starting from Zero
Daniel had no students, no income, and no private lesson experience. Less than a year later, he has 14 students, regular income, and a growing waitlist.

Takeaway: You don’t need experience to start, you need a plan and consistent action.

2. $2,200/Month in Under 12 Months
With 8 to 12 teaching hours per week and 8 full weeks off each year, Daniel now earns $2,200/month from private lessons alone.

Takeaway: Part-time hours can still bring full-time impact when your business is built intentionally.

3. Networking = Rapid Growth
Daniel focused on meeting people: band directors, parents, fellow musicians. This led to new students, a church gig, a TV opportunity, and more.

Takeaway: People need to know about you to hire you. Make networking a habit.

4. Studio as Launchpad for Creative Work
His teaching income gave him the stability to take on gigs and spend more time writing music—goals that had taken a backseat for years.

Takeaway: Your studio can fuel, not replace, your artistic life.

5. 14 Students in Under a Year
Daniel’s studio didn’t grow by chance. He made a real business plan, implemented systems, and treated every student like a valuable client.

Takeaway: Building a studio is simple when you follow a proven process.
