50. Win Back Time without Sacrificing Studio Scalability through Group Lessons with Jessica of Not Your Mother's Piano Studio The Prosperous Piano Teacher

    • Entrepreneurship

Have you ever wondered about the true potential of group lessons?
I know when someone first asked me if I taught group lessons I thought to myself, “why would I do that? It’s less valuable and less effective.”
This early version of piano teacher Ashlee had a lot of preconceived ideas about what group lessons were and were not. 🤦‍♀️
I’m really glad to have evolved beyond this view point and that I now understand how powerful and effective group lessons can be for the student and the business owner.
In today’s episode of the podcast, I dive deeper into this topic with a special guest, Jess Homewood from Not Your Mother’s Piano Studio.
Jess has rebuilt a studio from scratch in 3 different states, and has scaled her business very successfully with a group lesson model.
She is an advocate of teachers creating sustainable businesses that don’t lead to burnout and exhaustion.
So OBVIOUSLY we get along. 😉
In today’s episode, we talk about where she was when she started, what the transition to group lessons was like for her and her studio (and the parents!), and everything she learned along the way.
She shares some practical insights, the vulnerable parts of her journey, and so much more.
🎮 AND she talks about how she uses games to keep lessons fun, educational, and the power behind creating positive lesson experiences for your students.
I had so much fun talking with Jess and I can’t wait for you to hear the episode.
