What Our Graduates Say... 

A dream of taking music to the bush turned into a six-figure income!

She went from building up her studio twice only to see it all fall apart through crop failure to growing a thriving studio generating a six-figure income, where it’s now Vanessa who supports the family and pays the school fees. Adding groups has been a game-changer for Vanessa. 

Vanessa lives in a remote farming community and saw a need for quality music education in her community. But there are only so many hours in a day, and Vanessa realised that she couldn’t teach 100 students one-on-one. 

The idea of groups intrigued her, but she couldn’t imagine how to teach all those kids at once. She realised that she needed a skillset she didn’t have and enrolled in Group Piano University.

Today Vanessa has a thriving six-figure business. 

And she loves it!

“My husband and I are getting to do fun things again...”

As far as group -v- private the benefits are clearly financial. This is something that I’d been troubled by for years. How many people can I teach? It’s limited!

When you have groups. there’s so much more room for growth

Once I saw that I was able to provide equal quality education... it was a no brainer...

Rachel was surprised when everyone enrolled at her first promotion!

Rachel, who always relied on her waiting list to fill a vacancy when it came up was surprised by the results of her first promotion. 

I don't think I really believed that the people would (a) come to it and (b) would sign up for it - 

But they did! They loved it!

“Andrea wanted to move with the times...”

The way I was teaching them (my students) just wasn’t enough to get them really engaged.

You need to get their attention so much more now with all the technology and things they are used to having for learning things and understanding things quickly.

I really wanted to incorporate Whole Body Learning into my studio. That’s what really spoke to me...

Ann now reads bedtime stories to her children every night...

Ann had a grueling teaching schedule. but an unexpected break from teaching provided an opportunity to re-evaluate her priorities. 

Ann had always wanted to teach groups and when the opportunity came up last year to do Group Piano University she thought... "I’m just going to do it, you never know what’s around the corner.”

"If I can get as many students in a small amount of time how can you lose?”

Group Piano University Graduate says...

Group Piano University Graduate says...

I’ve been where you are... I was exhausted from teaching 60 students a week, and I'd hit the piano teaching income ceiling.

Adding some groups seemed to be the answer. What stopped me was the doubt over whether it was possible to teach several kids at the same time and provide a quality learning experience that would sustain my students' interest and progress over the long term. 

I then realised that teaching groups were different and needed a new approach. I just needed to find a way to learn how to teach effectively this way!

Fast forward a few years, just by taking it one step at a time, I was able to teach groups successfully AND I went on to grow my own music school, earning a six-figure income before it was a thing! More importantly, I was able to create treasured time with my two sons throughout their entire childhood. 

Teaching groups gave both Paul and I the flexibility to create our perfect mix of free time and financial security. But it took us decades! 

It doesn't have to take you that long. In Group Piano University, we’ve collated everything you need to become accomplished in teaching groups into one 8-week course.

Have more of what you want in your future - starting now!

I’ve been where you are...

When I was at a crossroads and group piano seemed to be the answer, I didn’t have a clue where to start, 

But then I decided, “I’ve just got to stop thinking about it and do something!”

My starting place - Zero. Whilst I had a thriving studio of 60 students I had zero experience in groups and no idea how to get started. 

Fast forward through overwhelm and doubt, just by taking it one step at a time, I was able to not only teach groups but also grow my own music school, earning a six-figure income before it was a thing! and more importantly, it allowed me an opportunity to create treasured time with my two sons when they were little. 

Teaching groups helped both Paul and me have the flexibility to create our perfect time and financial freedom goals. But know that you don’t have to do it the hard way. through trial and error like we did. 

You’re going to LOVE Group Piano University! It’s where we’ve collated everything we’ve learned over 30 years about becoming accomplished at teaching groups into a fun and insightful learning experience.

I look forward to you joining us!
