Description
Wanting to assist music teachers in establishing a client base without the time and financial investment usually involved in building up their own home studio along with the desire to earn a living with more flexibility, the owner created a business to bring students and music teachers together. Having realized that higher income families seem to want the convenience of home delivery, she saw the need for this type of service with regard to music lessons. With that understanding and her goals in mind, she created a niche business that allowed students to hire music teachers to come to their own home for lessons. Today, this website offers private and group music lessons on all instruments in students' homes nationwide. The owner spends 40 hours per week managing the business. The teachers are paid as contractors and are responsible for teaching the students, reporting attendance, communicating with the student/parents. Students are charged a higher rate per lesson than the rate the teacher is paid.
