Honesty Pill Podcast Episode 44: Kelly Riordan - Outside the Bachs Show Notes Episode Overview In this episode, Chris dives deep into the world of private music studios with Kelly Riordan, a powerhouse in music education, hybrid teaching, and marketing. Kelly shares her journey from building her own thriving private studio to helping over 3,000 teachers and students grow their music careers worldwide.

The interview process for finding a music teacher goes both ways:The teacher is interviewing the student and family to assess musical, physical, and emotional readiness; determine if the student (and parents) have the same goals for musical study; and evaluate whether or not they'd be a good fit in the studio. We talked about this in the last episode, Ep. 072 - The Case for Consultations in the Music Studio. So, go back and listen to that, if you missed it.At the same time, the student (and often the parents) are interviewing the teacher to assess musical skills and qualifications, teaching style, method and curriculum choices, and extracurricular offerings.The end of the school year and the summer months are a popular time to interview and onboard new students in your studio. This episode is meant to provide some guidance for you, the teacher, in preparing for these interviews or consultations with prospective families. Think through these questions in advance and be prepared to discuss your qualifications, teaching approach, and expectations, along with any studio experiences or opportunities you provide.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources MentionedEp. 072 - The Case for Consultations in the Music StudioPiano Safari (Fisher & Hague)Piano Adventures (Faber)The Music Tree (Clark & Goss)The Suzuki MethodEp. 068 - How to Plan a Musical InformanceEp. 069 - A Musical Informance to Celebrate the Solar EclipseEp. 071 - 3 Things I Learned From Hosting a Musical InformanceMusical Informance Planning Guide for Piano TeachersIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review in Apple Podcasts >>Find me on Instagram: @ashleydanyew

Years ago, I received an email from a piano teacher asking about initial consultations and interviews.“What do you do? What questions do you ask? How long should it be? What materials do you give them?” These are great questions!Here are some of the reasons I offer consultations to prospective families in my studio:1. They give you an opportunity to meet prospective students (and their parents) face-to-face before either of you commit to lessons.2. For students who are transferring from another teacher, it's important to see what music they're currently working on, assess what they know, and determine where you want to begin in your first lesson.In this episode, you'll learn how to structure a prospective student consultation (including what to have the student bring or prepare ahead of time), six questions to ask, how to plan your time together, and how to onboard new students and families after the consultation.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources MentionedMy Go-To Plan for First Piano LessonsPrintable Rhythm Pattern CardsCustomizable Email Templates for Studio TeachersIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review in Apple Podcasts >>Find me on Instagram: @ashleydanyew

Said business comes up and they click on it. #3. They then go to your socials to make sure you're legit and they like what they see. #4. They walk into your business.NOW.  If they love your service or product they MIGHT talk about it.  If they have a cummy experience, everyone knows about it.
