When we hear a mention of the “private piano teacher,” the initial reaction is likely to picture an elderly instructor wearing horn-rim glasses and a disapproving glare.
This imagined teacher is also the one who struggles to teach less than willing students and is running their music studio as a side business or hobby.
In reality, thousands of private piano teachers nationwide are using their vast music education to create fulfilling and successful careers that have both students and parents clamoring for more. However, one ambitious mom and veteran piano teacher is determined to dispel the myths and misconceptions of “your grandma’s music studio” and show instructors all over the globe how to take their music studio business to the next level.

From identifying the value of a music teacher and connecting with students to taxes, fees and running a music school like a business, the goal of Noreen’s book is to educate other professional music teachers on how they can create creating an exceptional student/teacher experience that will have students lining up for their expertise.
