  • Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of selling your studio's services? The thought of marketing can bring up fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But what if we reframed how we perceive it? Marketing isn't just about selling—it's about sharing something wonderful.

    In today’s episode I’m exploring five methods that help you reframe how you think about marketing in a way that doesn’t include hard-sell strategies but instead focuses on providing value and new ideas. 

    In this episode I discuss:

    How you can solidify the problem you're solving. Are you providing a creative outlet for kids? Offering a solution to reduce screen time? Ways you can highlight how your studio makes practice exciting.  What sets you apart?Building credibility that goes beyond credentials by sharing reviews and success stories.Actionable ideas to make the enrollment process crystal clear and easy to navigate. Remember, put yourself in the shoes of a potential customer.Everywhere you're present, incorporate a strong call to action.

    Marketing is all about how we frame it. Whether you're just starting out or looking to fine-tune your marketing skills, remember this: you've got the power to create something special.

  • Can you sense your students are getting bored or needing something new? Consider putting down the method books and really connecting with your students. In today's episode, Carly welcomes Tim Topham, a trailblazer in the music industry who challenges teachers to change their approach through creativity.

    You may feel like you lack creativity or couldn't possibly do a lesson without the book. But here's the thing: many of us, myself included, often hesitate to step outside our comfort zones and explore unfamiliar territories with our students. Tim challenges us to try something new and embrace the creativity we forget we had!

    In this episode we'll discuss:

    Tim's actionable approach caters to seasoned teachers and those just starting. The goal? To inspire teachers to make lessons more engaging and effective for their students.Activities and ideas that any teacher can implement to spark creativity and create engagement within those first few lessons.How do you sell this idea to parents? Tim walks you through it all – from activities students can do at home to strategies that use the imagination.

    Tim understands the hesitancy some teachers might feel about putting the book down and connecting with students on a more personal level. But trust your instincts, think outside the box, and have fun with your students!

  • As music teachers, it is so important that we teach our students skills other than those learned on a piano or guitar. Teaching them life skills can be valuable and solidify your role as a mentor in their lives. One of the skills that can be valuable is emotional resilience, the ability to pick themselves back up and keep going when they fail. While students will hit boundaries and obstacles that are difficult to overcome, your guidance can help them become who they want to be. Listen in to hear how Mary Mendoza has included these values in her teaching!

  • For years, I have been in the online teaching community helping to educate the teachers around me about the ways in which online teaching is better. I have been teaching online for more than ten years, and I can verify that it absolutely works! There will always be the naysayers and those that prefer the traditional methods, but I'm here to reassure you: Online teaching is the future!

    In this episode, I invited Jennifer Sheehan, a vocal performer, online teacher and Juilliard graduate, onto the podcast to talk about the ways that online music teaching has CHANGED her studio for the better. We talk methods, connecting with your students, utilizing social media for good, and so much more! Listen in to hear Jennifer's story and how you can make online teaching the future of your studio.
