Now’s the time of year to consider what programs you are going to be offering in your music studio in 2026…
And if you are looking for a program that will:
· Increase student retention…
· Increase the number of your beginners that become intermediate students…
· Help students go through their books faster (Proven! We did a study on this!)...
· Increase home practice time (Proven! We have years of data showing that this happens)
· And increase the profit in your studio (not just revenue)…
… Then you need to head over to GroupLessons.com, sign up for a free demo, and we’ll show you how hundreds of studios have easily started a new group program (sometimes in just a few weeks)... with little to no difficulty.
You can even begin our owner training for free (download our shopping list, and look through our teacher guides and method).
