#20 From False Start to a Thriving Studio in Two Years
Vanessa Munns, a Group Piano University graduate, lives in Beacon, a tiny farming community in the Central Wheat Belt of Western Australia. She drives up to 300km a day to teach. She has rebuilt her studio from scratch - twice - after drought wiped it out. She went through the pandemic having just had her ability to teach in state schools taken away overnight.
And she has built a six-figure income from teaching piano and music in the middle of the Australian outback.
This episode is one of the most awesome conversations we’ve had on the podcast!
Vanessa's mindset, her resilience, her absolute refusal to let geography or circumstance stop her - it is genuinely inspiring.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- How Vanessa built her studio twice - and watched drought wipe it out both times
- The teaching model that actually works
- The day that 50 new students became part of her weekly schedule
- That time when a school asked her to write a five-year music program dream list
- Why being remote actually worked in her favour
- What Whole Body Learning did for her neurodiverse students
- The teaching track that transformed her students’ progress more than anything else
- The mindset that took her from side income to six figures
