What does it actually look like to transition from a full private lesson schedule to a group piano studio, in real life, in under a year?
In this episode, I sat down with Caelyn, a young piano teacher from Wisconsin, who completed Group Piano University just nine months ago and has already transformed her studio, and her lifestyle, in ways she never knew were possible.
And now? She’s actually wondering what to do with her freed up time.
I hope you love this episode as this inspiring GPU grad walks us through step by step how she went from a maxed out schedule, to a thriving group piano studio.
She also reveals how she’s expanding even further to build the music school she's always envisioned.
This is a real, honest, inspiring, and funny conversation about what's possible. I hope you love it!
