Our Model: What Makes us Different

As a piano teacher, I know what it's like to teach for a studio and also teach private lessons out of my home. I loved having the studio take care of billing and marketing, but splitting the tuition 50/50 was hard to swallow.

About 2 years ago, my husband and I began working on the idea of a music studio that is designed to aid teachers in the billing and marketing without taking a large chunk of the income (we pay our teachers 80%). We are able to do this because we have very little overhead. Not only does the studio not own a building, but new students email and schedule directly with teachers. Not only do we take care of billing for our teachers, but our aggressive marketing helps generate new students for our teachers. In our first year of business, Jessica -- the founder and our first teacher -- went from 0 to over 25 students.

In fact, the Tampa Bay Times was so impressed with our model, they recently did an article in the Sunday paper highlighting it. You can read about that on the the Tampa Bay Times website.

Our goal is to provide an alternative model for exceptional teachers.
