"We had a meeting at the end of the day to discuss the convention and I thought you should know that everyone agreed that your sessions were fun and informative, that you are a top notch clinician, truly the guru of the private studio, and that we should have you back again!"

- Susan (Workshop Attendee)


Jazzing it up

Of all those teachers are there any who have never had problems with the parents of the students? Most could write a book on their experiences, which is exactly what studio teacher Mimi Butler has done. Fortunately, she focuses on addressing and solving the problems, not just on cataloguing them.

- Laurinel Owen, The Strad


"The parent calls one hour before the scheduled lesson time to inform you they cannot make their lesson this week.  You have no cancellation policy in effect and you are out the money.  If this were the doctor's office, the patient would be responsible for payment.  Why is this not the case with instrumental lessons?"


The book covers all aspects of the private studio: marketing, taxes, scheduling, billing (with sample notices included), policies for make-ups and cancellations, evaluations, recitals and mentoring.

"Ms. Butler has spent many hours putting this comprehensive guide together.  She has consulted numerous experts to make sure information is accurate."

—Roberta Warfield, The Bridge

"The word "complete" in the title of this spiral-bound book is almost an understatement, because I can't think of anything concerning the business of running a private music studio not covered.
