How to Set Up and Run a Successful Violin Studio – Introduction
“I’m so lucky. I have a fantastic profession, which I love. My work life is fulfilling and rewarding, and I’m excited by the opportunities and creative challenges it brings me.”
How often do you hear expressions of happiness and contentment like these – about work?
They are the words of a successful violin teacher running a flourishing studio of enthusiastic students who are all making great progress.
That’s the golden goal. How do you make it become a reality?
How to Set Up and Run a Successful Violin Studio
In the new series on TSV Gold, How to Set Up and Run a Successful Violin Studio, we’ll show you how to do it. You’ll learn from our greatest successes – and from our worst mistakes.
You’ll find out the important things to set in place to make your teaching life happy and productive, providing you with a healthy income and proper holiday periods to sustain a balanced life – while your students enjoy exceptional progress.
Here’s a brief list of some of the topics we’ll cover:
- Gearing up for a successful studio teaching practice;
- How to set your fee structure and get paid fairly and appropriately;
- How to develop and organise the Teaching Schedule;
- How to attract and select new students to make your programme accelerate;
- The initial phone call and qualifying newcomers;

- Important issues about accepting students who have been studying elsewhere;
- Where to find and how to use the right venues for group classes and concerts;
