Branding Bootcamp

Hiding in the sea of sameness?

Stand out with a unique, powerful studio brand so that you can increase your roster AND your rates.

Let’s talk about you.

You love teaching. You’re GREAT at teaching. But you’d rather sight read Sondheim than market, promote yourself on social media, or do anything that feels even remotely “sales-y.”

This is where studio owners and course creators get lost.

Maybe your website says something like, “Piano Lessons for All Ages and All Levels”* when the truth is, deep down, you hate working with kids.

Or maybe your business cards read, “Voice lessons: All styles and genres” when, really, the thought of teaching one more Billie Eilish song makes you want to slam the piano lid closed for good.

(*Full disclosure: That’s actually a line from my first FB page and website. Not kidding. I did it too.)

What happens when we market from vagueness rather than specificity?

We attract the wrong clients.

… the ones who don’t practice.
… the ones who quibble about registration fees and tuition.
… the ones who are never happy with your rep ideas…and you’re never happy with theirs
… the ones who quit after only taking lessons for a month.

Before you know it, you’re creatively depleted and feeling a little resentful that your business is running YOU instead of the other way around.

Why did this happen?

Because your studio branding didn’t match the awesomeness that you provide.

knowledge drop:

Even if you’ve never given ANY thought to branding… Your music biz has a brand.

Every aspect of your communication — what you post, the images you choose, how you word your emails, heck, even the fonts you use for your studio policies — it all represents your brand. For better or worse.
What does your current FB page communicate to potential students? What about your website? Your Google business listing? (Don’t have one? No worries.)

Your business is too valuable to leave your brand to chance. It’s time to take control so that you can attract the clients that make your heart sing.

From the alumni...

Branding Bootcamp gave me the space and necessity to think more deeply about other aspects of my business that I had sorely been neglecting in favor of purely social media marketing. I have a much clearer vision of how I would like to structure my “next stage” of business model. I also have a better grasp on how to create more specific products and services for more ideal clients.

I have so much clarity surrounding what I want to offer and who I want to serve. Creating social media content feels EXCITING instead of terrifying and mystical. My website has benefited greatly as well, and is bound to convert more folks than my previous versions. I would highly recommend Branding Bootcamp and your 1:1 coaching. It is the exact expertise a music business owner didn't get in school and desperately needs in order to obtain clients. Thank you for everything!

Before signing up thought: “I’m not tech savvy so branding might not be pertinent to me and my studio.” In the class, I got wonderful guidance on how to brand my business through color, words, photos and artwork.

After attending Branding Bootcamp, I now have such a clear idea of who I am as a teacher and I've been able to understand how I'm different from other teachers. I now feel so much more comfortable being myself, connecting with my students and providing lessons that are heaps of fun, and sometimes just a little bit crazy.

Should you sign up for Branding Bootcamp? Ab-so-lute-ly! Course content is excellent. This course was challenging, insightful, and relevant. Sara has energized my focus and has given me solid footing for developing my business. Best business coaching for music studio teachers!

Since taking Branding Bootcamp, I’ve started to think about what I really want to do for my music studio and who I really want to work with. And I made a realization that “marketing” my business is ok. Now I am seeing my studio as a business and have learned to focus on and target the customers that are a good fit for my studio!

What teachers are saying...

Sara is knowledgeable, professional and gracious. Her energy is contagious. She helped to clear the fog around a hazy subject and I look forward to continuing our professional relationship. Sara cares about her work, will care about you, and will be your biggest cheerleader.

It was helpful to see other perspectives and how DIFFERENT each studio and teacher can be, which is a relief because it showed me I can be my complete and authentic SELF as a business owner and teacher.

Branding Bootcamp opened my eyes to things that I hadn't realized about the way I present myself to the world -- both visually and verbally. I loved the presentations followed by group work -- it ensured I got stuff done, and then I didn't feel (as much) pressure to work on it between sessions. THANK YOU!

Sara has helped me feel so much more confident with business decisions… i.e. logo design. Facebook page, etc. I know I am no longer out there alone. It’s great to know that I have a coach in my corner!

Best thing I ever did for my studio business and for myself!

Are you ready?

I'm saving a spot just for you!
