144 - Amy Chaplin on How to Submit Winning Conference Proposals
April 10, 2024 10:00 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBWith the MTNA conference in March, I guess you could say I’ve been on a conference kick. We talked about Networking with Stephanie Bonte-Lebair in Episode 141, I shared my takeaways from MTNA in Episode 142, and then last week I did a live Networking Debrief workshop with a group of teachers and, together, we went through our own lists of people we want to build deeper relationships with and figured out next steps.

We also talk about the seasonality she experiences, how she thinks about pricing, and trends she has observed pr...

March 13, 2024 10:00 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MBIn my original interview with Stephanie, she talked about the role business networking played in the marketing of her business and she talked about it with such intentionality that I knew I wanted to learn more.

It’s one you’ll want to listen to more than once! A full transcript and resources from ...

February 28, 2024 11:00 - 9 minutes - 12.8 MBToday’s episode is more of a public service announcement for studio owners who have businesses that are registered in the US. On January 1, a new reporting requirement from the US Treasury Department went into effect and it might impact you. I’m talking about the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting rule or BOI Reporting requirement from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), part of the Corporate Transparency Act. Today I’m going to share what I learned in my research ...
138 - Andrea Yahr on Tax Prep Tips and FAQs [REBROADCAST]
February 21, 2024 11:00 - 36 minutes - 49.6 MBWith the turn of the calendar, many of us are closing the fiscal years for our businesses and wrapping up our bookkeeping for the year in anticipation of the tax season ahead. I am a HUGE fan of a low-stress tax season and the way to accomplish that is to get started early and tackle one step at a time. Which is why I invited back to the podcast, Andrea Yahr, a certified tax preparer, to get us going. Andrea’s first appearance on the Music Studio Startup podcast was back in Episode 012...

Since it’s January, this review takes more of an annual review perspective as we look back on 2023 and look forward to 2024. I was looking forward to this conversation with Amy because I wanted an excuse to talk about apps and tools for organizing all the things life throws at us and I knew Amy would have things to say about this. The conversation did not disappoint. We...

January 24, 2024 11:00 - 35 minutes - 48.2 MBToday I’m sharing part two of a two-part episode with my guest, Tony Parlapiano. Teaching piano has taken many forms over the years for Tony. From being a travel piano teacher and teaching students homes, to teaching online during the pandemic and then sticking with it afterward, to the studio we’re going to hear about today, that more closely resembles a college program than your standard 1:1 or group lessons. Over the summer, Tony was featured in our studio snapshot series. In that ep...

132 - Christopher Maloney on Launching an Online Practice Program for Adults
December 20, 2023 11:00 - 53 minutes - 73 MBMost teachers agree that one of the greatest indicators of whether or not a student will progress in music is not their innate talent. It all comes down to practicing. Today's musician entrepreneur, Christopher Maloney, realized that there was a gap in where his adults were and where they wanted to be in their musical skills and that gap could only be traversed by practicing and, ideally, practicing more effectively. So he decided to tackle this challenge. Not in the form of a practice app...
131 - Thomas Grayston on Listening to Feedback
December 13, 2023 17:10 - 42 minutes - 58.5 MBToday I have a return guest on the podcast! I did a two-part interview with Thomas Grayston, the developer behind the NoteRush note-reading app in episodes 021 and 022. In those episodes, we talked about how he turned NoteRush from a side project to a full-time gig and then we talked about the first steps a teacher might take if they have an app idea of their own that they want to bring to market. In today’s conversation we get to hear all about the v. 2 release of NoteRush and we get to r...
130 - Andrea Miller on Calming Chaos
December 06, 2023 11:00 - 8 minutes - 11.9 MBToday, I’m deviating from our usual interview format to discuss a challenge that I’m sure all of us have experienced at one point or another and is especially common this time of year—managing life when it becomes overwhelmingly full. In this episode I break down the process and strategies I follow in my own life to get through these times and calm the chaos.

November 01, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes - 13 MBToday I'm continuing the pattern of quarterly check-ins that I've been doing all this year kind of on accident.

A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicSt...

October 18, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 57 MBWith Tonara’s announcement that they will be shutting down their practice app, a lot of teachers are looking for a replacement, so we thought it would be helpful to feature a few of the other apps in this space. Last week we talked to Nicola Cantan about the startup story of her brand new app - Vivid Practice and today we’re rebroadcasting an episode with the founders of PracticeSpace, Robert Miller and Chris Mallett.

We get to hear how Jenny and her sister built that business, how they weathered some storms while learning a lot, and how they eventually sold it. A ...
124 - Christopher Madden on Intrapreneurship and Launching a new Master’s Degree Program
September 20, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 47.1 MBWe commonly think of entrepreneurs as people who start businesses, but over the years I’ve really come to appreciate people who bring an entrepreneurial spirit to the work they do in existing organizations — sometimes these people are called “intrapreneurs.” Today I’m talking to one such person - Chris Madden - who spearheaded the introduction of a new masters degree program at his university. You’ll hear about how proposing a new master’s program is a lot like pitching a new business, fro...

May 03, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 49 MBToday's interview is on a topic I've never covered on the podcast before and it's not one that gets a lot of attention, but it’s a real thing that a lot of teachers have to navigate and it can be kind of complicated. I’m talking about taking an extended leave from a studio. Our discussion centers around taking parental leave after the birth of a child, but the insights and takeaways translate to taking extended leave from a studio for any reason: vacation, sabbatical, health reasons, whate...

Rob had such great success building his studio that, even with gigs returning, he’s kept the studio open.

093 - Andrea Miller on Business Insights from Tax Returns [REBROADCAST]
April 12, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes - 13.9 MBThis time of year I get a lot of financial questions from teachers. We’ve just gotten through the holiday spending spree, new year’s might have inspired some financial goal-setting, and then there’s the looming tax deadline in April, so there’s a lot to think about. Sometimes the questions I get are really specific to an individual, but lately a bunch of clients and listeners have said “hey, you talk about reviewing financials on a regular basis as a way of getting more familiar with my fi...

If this sounds intriguing, listen on. A full transcript and resources from t...
