Getting a Private Lessons Program Started

Posted by howdy on 7/9/2025, 12:53 pm

I’m looking to start a private lessons program

-who primarily makes up your instructors? Undergrad students, grad students, other band directors, retired band directors?
-what does the financial side look like? Who pays the instructor and how much is that rate?

Open to any advice to get this going!

My teachers are whoever I can get. College students are great but we're not close to a big music school. Parents/students pay the teacher directly. We offer a 50% scholarship for kids who need it. In that case the teacher has a log sheet where the teacher and student initial for each lesson, at the end of the month the teacher turns in their log sheet and I get them a check.

Where are you located? That's your first hurdle.
