Things that bring you more students

• Professional certification

  The MTNA (Music Teachers National Association) runs a certification program for independent teachers, and it gives parents a reason to pick you.

• Exam board preparation

  Teachers who prepare students for graded music exams and auditions can charge more.

• A second instrument

  A piano teacher who also teaches guitar or voice fills the timetable faster.

• Early childhood music methods

  Kodaly, Orff and Suzuki training. Parents of young children specifically look for these.
