How do you know if you are succeeding as a music teacher?

Its great to get a new student, but how do you keep them coming back every week for more lessons? Here are a few hints for you to use.

In a survey conducted in the UK 93% of car drivers felt they were above average as a driver. What the study reveals is that most people believe they are better than they actually are in many areas of life. This often leads to blame shifting. In other words we blame other people or outside forces for our failings yet take credit for our success. When we don’t accept responsibility we tend to keep making the same mistakes.

For our purposes one of the best ways I found for getting a sense of how good you really are is to measure your actual position in terms of being above or below average as a guitar teacher (which is not to be confused with success as an entrepreneur which we will explain shortly).

We use the following; To be above average 80% or more of your students must be with you for at least 1 year and will have done an average of 15 to 30 minutes (depending on age) per day practice. That’s it. Why at least 1 year?
