Being your own boss can be both freeing and challenging at the same time. While having a music studio and teaching is rewarding, managing the day to day tasks like scheduling is usually not. Of the top challenges music teachers face, 65% rate scheduling as their number one source of stress and frustration. For the teacher just starting out, managing schedules manually may not be quite the stressor since there are fewer schedules to coordinate. As you grow and scale though that usually changes quickly. Managing differing schedules and availability times becomes more difficult with each new student added. It also becomes a source of risk, missed lessons becomes missed income. The goal of a music studio should be to create a steady income source that is reliable and consistent. Having a dependable scheduling system is key to achieving this.
Does this sound familiar? The new teaching season is starting and you are manning multiple phone calls, texts and and emails from your students letting you know what day and times they prefer while you are mapping out who requested the certain times first and trying to ensure you don’t miss anyone, as they are simultaneously messaging you that they need to make a change from what they originally requested? It quickly becomes a chaotic headache and an operational productivity drain. Having resources that take on this burden for you can be invaluable and make the difference between being a successful studio and a barely surviving one.
Using a scheduling system can turn the chaos into a streamlined process. Automated tools such as lesson reminders and the ability to allow students to choose their own lesson times from pre-defined teaching availability can ensure you are spending your time teaching and not directing scheduling traffic. Duet Partner provides integrated scheduling tools such as:
