Many music teachers reach a stage in their career where they start to consider the possibility of starting their own school. This is part the normal evolution for many musicians. Although the reasons are varied for everyone, there are some common themes. It may be the love for education and the desire for more students. Other people find it rewarding to lead their school and manage the business in their own way. Still others are motivated by the desire for a slower pace and the opportunity to pass on their knowledge and experience in the industry. Whatever the reason, starting a music school can be a lucrative and fulfilling venture. So why isn’t everyone doing this? It’s not an easy task to do on your own. It’s important to know how to set up and manage a business. Also, you need to be able to create a marketing campaign that is well-rounded and also have a great website. These two are constantly changing. Working with people is another important skill. The challenges of managing a team, dealing with students, parents, customers and instructors can sometimes be overwhelming. There are many more. It almost appears that we are making arguments against opening schools. We don’t mean to say that. We’re stating that it is easier to do all this when you have support systems and networks with other school owners. Music Lab was founded to address this gap in the music industry. We’d love to briefly describe what we do and how it can assist you in starting and running your school.

We also have access and communication with all active music school owner members. This helps us to help you on our business journey. Owners of each location communicate regularly and sometimes work together for events, programs, and other activities. Each location has its owners who work together to make music schools better at every level.
