Music Teachers
Finally Fill Your Studio and
Get Paid What You're Worth
Get personalized coaching from Jacqueline Beckoff, founder of Defined Music Teacher and host of the Piano Pedagogy Podcast, to build a studio that supports your life, not consumes it.
Are you tired of...
Dealing with inconsistent income and chasing late payments?
Feeling undervalued and unsure how (or when) to raise your rates?
Struggling to find enough of the right kind of students?
Spending more time on scheduling, billing, and marketing than actually teaching?
Feeling isolated and not knowing what to do next to grow your studio?
Wondering if you can run a successful studio without working evenings and weekends?
Imagine having a clear path to...
A studio filled with motivated students who respect your policies.
Consistent, predictable monthly income you can rely on.
Systems that handle admin tasks efficiently, freeing up your time.
The confidence to charge premium rates for your expertise.
Paid vacation time and sick days to avoid feeling burnout.
Marketing strategies that work for you, so you can focus on teaching.
That's exactly what my business coaching program at Defined Music Teacher helps you achieve. I provide practical, actionable strategies tailored to the unique world of music education.
Attract Your Ideal Students
Stop wasting time and energy on marketing that yields lukewarm results or students who aren't committed. Learn precisely how to define and attract families who genuinely value music education, respect your expertise, and align with your teaching style
Master Your Finances
Move beyond financial stress and unpredictable income streams. We'll work together to implement professional pricing strategies that truly reflect your skill and experience, along with clear, enforceable payment policies (like auto-pay options and late fee structures) that ensure consistent cash flow.
Stop Wasting Time
Reclaim valuable hours currently lost to administrative overwhelm. Are you drowning in scheduling emails, makeup lesson logistics, or manual invoicing? We will identify the time-draining bottlenecks in your studio management and implement efficient processes.
Rediscover Your Joy
Is the stress of running the business starting to overshadow your love for teaching? Reconnect with the passion that drew you to music education in the first place, building a sustainable studio business that supports and energizes you, rather than drains you.
