We Know the Private Lesson Grind —
There’s a Better Way, and We’ll Show You
I turned group piano teaching into a six-figure studio and a life with more freedom.
I know what it’s like to teach 60 students a week and feel stuck at the income ceiling. I once doubted group lessons — until I discovered they’re not “just more students at once,” but a skill you can master.
That shift helped me build a six-figure music school and gain priceless time with my two sons.Â
Now, I help teachers fast-track the same transformation — creating thriving studios and richer lives outside the piano.
The moment I saw my students thriving together, I knew I’d never go back.
I’ll be honest — I was skeptical at first. Could students really learn well in groups? Would parents value it? But once I saw the results — engaged students, stronger retention, and a healthier balance in my own life — I knew I’d never go back.
Group teaching gave me freedom in my schedule, financial security to focus on what I love, and the joy of watching students thrive together. Now, alongside Gillian, I’m here to give you the tools and confidence to bring that same transformation to your studio — without the stress or guesswork.

Experienced Teachers Are Transforming Their Lives with Group Piano University
From a Dream to a Six-Figure Studio
After moving to a remote farming community, Vanessa became determined to give local kids the same advantages that city kids get by learning a musical instrument.
 She realised that there were only so many one-on-one lessons she could teach, and groups were the way to achieve her dream.Â
Today, Vanessa provides this opportunity to more than 100 students, and her six-figure income has enabled her to support her family in the usual ups and downs of farming life. Â

From a Busy City Studio to More Time!
"After moving from New Jersey for a lifestyle change in Vermont, I promised myself I’d shape my teaching schedule around my priorities this time.
Once I saw that I could give my students the same high-quality education in a group setting, the decision was easy.
Now, I have my ideal mix of advanced students, online classes, and in-person groups — which means more time for myself and the freedom to enjoy everything this move was about."

Went from 15 to 40 students with Ease
"When I ran my first group promotion, I was nervous — what if no one signed up?
To my surprise, everyone came… and everyone enrolled!
Since then, I’ve grown my studio from 15 private students to 40, systematically filling vacancies with group classes.
I’m loving the group dynamic, and I’m thrilled with the depth of musicality my students are developing."

Going 100% All In On Group Piano
"I’d been teaching a mix of group and private lessons for years, but I wanted to go all-in on groups.
To make it happen, I needed a solid methodology that could engage every student and a long-range curriculum that would take beginners all the way to advanced — in a group setting.
In the fall of 2022, I made the leap — gave away all my privates — and went 100% group piano!"

From Long Hours to Bedtime Stories...
"I used to have a gruelling teaching schedule — evenings and Saturdays were spent in the studio, away from my young sons.
An unexpected health break made me stop and re-evaluate my priorities.
Now, I’m home for family dinners, helping with homework, and on Saturdays, you’ll find me on the sidelines cheering my kids on — all while earning a similar income to before."
These teachers already had years of experience and successful studios. Group Piano University gave them the tools, systems, and confidence to teach groups profitably, without sacrificing quality or passion.
