Have you ever looked at someone else’s private studio and thought, “I wish I had that studio!” Annual recitals, masterclasses, long waitlists, and students who are totally invested in your private lesson culture? The truth is that you can absolutely have the kind of private studio that looks like that and more - and the key comes down to unlocking your CEO mindset. After years of teaching classical musicians how to create their own successful studios, Dr. Katherine Emeneth and Nathalie Simper will show you how to balance the business side of studio ownership, discover your “superpowers” to attract your ideal students, and how to create a community within your studio by harnessing the mindset of a true music entrepreneur.
