Get Students. Get paid. Get going!
 

You’re a musician who needs income — but you also need flexibility for gigs, opportunities, and the life you’re building.

You already have the skills to be a wonderful private music mentor. What you may not have is a roadmap. When I started teaching decades ago, no one showed me how to find students, teach lessons that kids love, communicate with parents, get paid fairly, or build a studio that didn’t consume my whole life.

I’d love to share everything I learned — the mistakes, the breakthroughs, and the systems that allow you to create a rewarding, profitable studio while protecting your energy, joy, and freedom.

Included in this cohort workshop:
  • 4 live (Pacific Standard Time) online one-hour group instructional sessions with question and answer time
  • recap PDFs for each session
  • 10 templates for your business from how to run a lesson to how to communicate with parents and teachers
  • access to watch recorded sessions on replay 
  • 2 recorded lessons for you to observe Julie teaching real private students

These live services and templates are valued at $650+, but current college students can join for just $197.

If you’ve been thinking about starting to teach, this is your moment. I’m offering this student price to help you get started now — and you’ll likely earn it back with your first two students. I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!

Dates for weekly cohort: 
Choose from Saturdays April 11th through May 2nd from 7-8pm 
Or, Mondays April 13th through May 4th from 7-8pm 
 
Need a fast track version? Join me for a whirlwind weekend Sunday session on April 19th or Saturday session on 25th, 10am to 2:30pm with a 30 minute break at 12:00pm and get access to all your templates for $285. You may or may not have a cohort learning with you. 

Here's what my amazing music mentors are saying about this workshop: 

  • It was super clear and encouraging and I felt confident to start teaching right away. I actually got my first paying students two weeks after finishing Julie’s workshop.

    I.A.

  • As a college music major, private teaching gave me freedom to earn income on my own time with my own schedule, so it didn’t interfere with school, practice or rehearsals, plus I got experience in my field while being my own boss!

    Z.S.

  • Julie’s workshops give you a clear path on how to become a mentor.

    J.B.

  • These sessions were informative, yet personable sessions. Julie has a great way of telling stories from her own experiences that help lead into a great presentation of materials. The discussions are respectful, informative and helpful with the topic being presented. Julie does a great job explaining her processes, and asking wonderful questions to keep dialogue going. The time flew by!

    D.W.

  • These workshops were fun, educational sessions with lots of real world scenarios that help explain what works and what to not waste your time or energy on.

    L.K.

  • Julie’s course is a stress-free and engaging opportunity for support and community mentorship for aspiring violin teachers who are just starting out.

    B.H.

  • When Julie first told me I’d be good at teaching private lessons, I was intrigued — especially since I had never considered teaching throughout all my years of playing. She believed in me and guided me in the right direction to succeed. Years later, I took her advice and did the steps she gave me, and within months I had a full time career teaching private lessons.
