Are you a voice teacher who works tirelessly every day for the good of each and every student, only to be met with late cancellations, helicopter parents, and a salary that is barely scraping by?

Noel Smith has spent twenty years figuring out the secrets to exploding her voice studio into a fully-grown business – boasting 60+ Broadway students, a network of teachers, custom-made merchandise, and a six-figure revenue.

This course will give you the tools to grow a voice studio that is not only successful but also business- and tech-savvy…while still turning a profit and developing a following of students, teachers and parents.

Topics will include:

- Finding space to set up a studio
- How to find students
- Building a website
- Advertising
- Rates to charge
- How to assess incoming students
- Studio policy
- Online support for your studio
- Online lessons
- Group lessons
- Hiring another teacher
- Who should be on your team?

Noel will share the good, the bad and the ugly followed by a question and answer session.
