Professional Musicians~Looking for Tips on Growing Your Business....

Tweet

Hi, I'm a piano teacher, professional pianist and clarinet teacher. I'm interested in growing my business. I would like to find more students; but I also feel like I could really be doing more with my music. I play in church on Sundays. But I feel like I could be doing more. I play in nursing homes regularly and play for parties, funerals, weddings, community events once in a while. I hear about other people writing music, recording, etc. I spoke with a friend of a friend who did a recording (with that friend). He said he paid about $5,000 to record his music. That's a small investment when you think long term...but our funds are extremely limited, so it's a lot of money for us right now. I feel like there are different directions I could go in..... Just thought I'd see what thoughts you might have and what your experience has been. I can't go in a million directions, or I won't accomplish anything. I'd like to earn more money with my music, but I don't want this to be all about money. I prefer to minister to people when I can. Okay, shoot me your thoughts and suggestions. And say a prayer for me as well. Thanks much, thepianoladie (aka, artsyfartsygal)
