In this clip on "How to Run Your Own Music Business" I'm going to talk about the benefits
of either working with a music school or breaking out on your own as a freelance music teacher.
There can be a lot of benefits to starting with a music school at the very beginning.
There's a lot of music schools and they'll pay you, and you might make less per hour
than on your own, but you're going to have the benefit of working with other staff members,
other teachers, getting tips and ideas. The administrator will deal with cancellations
and collecting monies so I really recommend when you first decide to be a music teacher
to join a music school, even if it's just for a year. And it will give you great initiation,
and then it's maybe time to break out as a freelancer, try and advertise, and get your
own students. But I learned so much from working within music schools. I got tips from other
teachers, I got all different kinds of students I might not have been able to work with, to
get on my own through my own advertisement, and I didn't have to worry about the money
in the beginning. So, I suggest that for the very beginning to work with a school.
