Music schools' have a unique challenge since the product they sell is the relationship students have with their instructors. A potentially even greater challenge has emerged as we settle into a post-pandemic world-supply and demand.   The demand for music lessons is skyrocketing but the supply of instructors has never seemed so low. Group classes can be an easy way to offset a staffing shortage.   One instructor teaching groups can accommodate more than double the amount of students of a private lessons instructor.   In this week's episode I share a recent vlog Jonny Wilson (Build a Music School) recorded on how Kidzrock can help increase a schools profit margins with a smaller teaching staff. davesimonsmusic.com

Can you handle the truth? People don't read all of your sales copy on your website. Think about your own behavior when you read a web page.  You only have a few seconds to capture someone's attention when they land on your guitar landing page. If the text (sales copy) doesn't open with a thought-provoking, shocking, unexpected, or funny sentence-your website visitor is likely to jump off your page.  This doesn't apply if your website visitor is all ready to sign up and doesn't need some extra encouragement.  In this episode of Music Lessons and Marketing, I'll share with you strategies for how to market guitar lessons on your website.  Today's sponsor The key to positioning group music classes as the more desirable option is to provide a musical experience that could never be replicated in a private lesson. Kidzrock, Piano Jam, and Jr. Rockerz allow kids to learn how to plan an instrument in a performing ensemble making private lessons a destination for the more ambitious student. These programs make music more accessible to more kids and will give you an instant competitive edge.

In this episode, I explore how you can infuse your brand promise into the music lesson itself.  A child’s opinion of the music lesson is a reflection of the success, or failure, of  your branding being in sync with the experience your studio provide.   Play Music on Day One Every music studio makes some sort of promise to their customers. A lot of people say that their music lessons are fun. Maybe they say that their music lessons are fun and easy. In my Kidzrock and Jr Rockerz programs, we make the promise that kids will be up and playing music on day one.  visit www.davesimonsmusic.com    SHOW CREDITS Intro music: Dusted by Fojimoto Outro music: Rain and Revolution by City Breathing
