"I'd love to teach groups, but my studio's not big enough." If you've ever said or thought your space wouldn’t work for groups, this episode is for you.
In reality, you probably don't need a bigger space. You just need to see what's actually possible.
In this episode, we take you inside the real teaching spaces of Group Piano University graduates from around the world — from home studios and church halls to school classrooms, community music centres, and small commercial spaces.
Real- life GPU grads join us in this conversation!
And what they show you is surprising and impressive.
In this episode, you'll discover:
(01:36) Why space doesn’t have to keep you stuck
(02:30) Why starting small (3-4 students) completely changes your income in the long-run
(05:18) Actual school classrooms. See how Vanessa, Melody, and Margie have made this work beautifully
(09:46) Church halls & the unexpected benefits you wouldn't think of
(11:28) Small commercial spaces — for teachers with bigger dreams (Lorraine in Malta, Sarah in Sydney, Kate in California)
