Sasha Dae Why You Struggle To Attract New Guitar Students

Description:

Sasha Dae Proficient tips provider. When a group of English as a foreign language teachers was surveyed as to what Tepic areas most interested them a surprising variety of Topic areas emerged. As with a growing number of ELT professionals, there is a continuing need for training and development. Many teachers, though wanting to grow their current boundaries, have neither the time, interest or resources to pursue a higher degree or effect a full return to formal education. The answer, in part, may well be for savvy administrators to schedule a series of well-planned, in-depth English Teacher training workshops and seminars beyond what may be available locally or regionally from such organizations as TESOL, IATEFL, ASOCOPI, the British Council and others. In addition, there are other options that could be explored. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Sasha Dae Why You Struggle To Attract New Guitar
Students
  • Sasha Dae Qualified tips provider. Are you tired
    of struggling to fill your guitar teaching
    schedule with new students? This is a very common
    problem amongst teachers in the guitar teaching
    community. The reality is, you MUST know how to
    attract a lot of guitar students on a continual
    basis in order to make good money teaching
    lessons. However, this is NOT done by only
    advertising as much as possible. You need to
    clearly demonstrate to all potential guitar
    students that you are the number one choice for a
    guitar teacher in your local area.
  •  
  • Sasha Dae Certified tips provider. These are the
    six things you need to do for/demonstrate to
    potential guitar students in order to get many
    new students very quickly
  •  
  • 1. Make it clear to potential guitar students
    that your guitar lessons are very unique and
    special when compared to any other lessons being
    offered locally
  •  
  • You will struggle to attract a lot of guitar
    students when your lessons are judged purely by
    price alone. When this happens, your students
    will view all guitar teaching as a simple
    commodity where the only point in working with
    one teacher over another teacher is to save a few
    bucks. In this case, they will always select
    whoever is cheapest. To overcome this objection,
    you must help them understand the major benefits
    they will get while working with you (that they
    cannot find anywhere else). Additionally, you
    must communicate to them that you will be able to
    offer them these things while simultaneously
    saving them time and money. The question is, how
    can you prove this? Here are a few ways
  •

Show any potential guitar students a list of the
students you've trained to become excellent
guitarists and musicians.   Explain how you've
actually been 'trained' by an experienced guitar
teacher trainer to get the best results for your
students. Keep in mind that this is totally
different than having a degree in music, since
this kind of degree will not help you improve as
a guitar teacher. Sasha Dae Qualified tips
provider. Don't teach exclusively one on one
lessons - use a variety of unique formats that
will bring your students tons of additional
benefits and help them advance their playing
faster.   Become the local expert a style your
target students want to learn.   Once you do
these things, the following will
happen   Prospective students will see that you
really are the best option for them.   Other
local guitar teachers will start losing students
because their students will soon discover that
YOU are the one who helps guitarists achieve
their goals faster than any other teacher in the
area.   2. Personalize your guitar teaching to
meet the unique needs, goals and learning styles
of your guitar students   Here's a question you
should never ask "What is the greatest method
for teaching guitar students?". Instead, you
should be asking the following question
3
"What is the best way to consistently get
MASSIVE results for my students?". The answer to
this question (as you might suspect) is very
complex. However, it starts by using the
following line of thinking The greatest, most
successful guitar teachers do not merely teach
'guitar' they teach 'people'. What am I talking
about exactly? Do not search for an
all-encompassing teaching method. Instead, search
for strategies that will help each of your
students achieve their specific musical goals as
quickly and effectively as possible (while
keeping them highly motivated throughout the
learning process).   3. Help your guitar students
learn what they NEED (not just what they think
they 'want')   Sasha Dae Top service provider.
You don't want to be that one guitar teacher who
teaches his students only what they 'believe they
should be learning.' It's very easy for students
to distract themselves and stray away from their
ultimate musical goals when they try to learn
things that 'seem interesting', but have no real
benefit for them. With this in mind, they will
often try to convince you that they should be
learning these kinds of things and this can be
very distracting for you as well (if you allow it
to be so). Truth is, the overwhelming majority of
students have no idea what they should be
learning and why they should be learning it. That
is why they are the students and you are the
teacher. You will attract many more guitar
students once you turn your existing ones into
truly great musicians. This only happens when
they achieve their musical goals as quickly and
effectively as possible, so don't let them get
off course simply when they 'think' they should
be learning something.   4. Work with a proven
expert to improve your guitar teaching skills  
4
1 mistake made by most guitar teachers that ruins
their local reputation (taking away their ability
to earn good money) teaching guitar lessons with
a trial and error approach. There is almost
nothing worse than telling your students that you
have learned how to teach guitar through trial
and error. Many of them will take this as a sign
of your own incompetence and will pursue lessons
with someone else who seems more capable of
helping them get results. Think about it. Would
you pay someone to fill a cavity in your tooth if
they were working on a trial and error basis?
Would you sit down in that dentist's chair?
Didn't think so! The same applies for your guitar
students. They are not stupid, they can tell a
hack teacher from someone who has really
perfected the craft of guitar instruction. Don't
overlook this point - find an expert guitar
teacher who will show you exactly what you need
to do to get the very best results for your
students. Chances are, you know that I offer
training for guitar teachers. With this in mind,
you may be under the impression that the only
reason I wrote this article is to advertise this
program... but it's not. Truth is, it really
doesn't matter to me who trains you to become an
excellent guitar teacher. I'm merely informing
you that you need to do this in order to become
successful in your guitar teaching business.   5.
Enrich your students' musical lives by expanding
their guitar playing goals to make them bigger in
scope   In most cases, people who want to learn
guitar from you either    
5
Have no clue what can truly be accomplished with
guitar. They have a very limiting understanding
of how to set truly BIG goals.   Don't have
faith in themselves and as a result pursue very
small goals based on what they think is possible
rather than what they REALLY want to
accomplish.   Sasha Dae Qualified tips provider.
For instance, many of your guitar students might
think that they merely want to learn how to play
fast guitar licks, specific songs or styles. Fact
is, if you showed them how much they could truly
achieve, they would want to accomplish much more.
Mediocre guitar teachers will simply help their
guitar students learn songs, play cool licks or
reach other small goals during their lessons.
Eventually, the student will be able to do these
things and will quit because there seems to be no
reason to continue (since the teacher never made
them aware of the greater musical possibilities
beyond their basic objectives).   It is your job
as a guitar teacher to open the minds of your
students to a whole new dimension of musical
possibilities. This will motivate them to
continue working with you for a long time and
tell everyone they know about your lessons. Make
it a point to help your students build up their
musical goals from very basic ones to bigger,
more long term ones and help them grow into
excellent musicians.   6. Truly care A LOT about
helping your students (and show this to
them!)    
6
Once you prove that you truly care about helping
your guitar students (more than any other guitar
teacher could) you will be able to attract new
students and keep them for very long periods of
time. There are countless ways you can do this,
however, to keep this article short I will only
mention one Rather than spending all the money
you make teaching lessons on other things, use
some of it to directly increase the amount of
value your students get from having you as their
teacher. Hold group jam sessions, parties,
dinners or other events that can only be attended
by your students. Do not charge them for this!
Give it to them 100 free to let them know that
they are part of something truly special and that
taking lessons with you brings much more benefit
beyond simply learning to play guitar. Most
guitar teachers never do anything like this
(making you really stick out in the crowd!). Here
Is What To Do Next Sasha Dae Proficient tips
provider. After reading this article you have
discovered many ways to attract a lot of new
guitar students. To get the most benefit out of
this information, begin implementing these ideas
into your guitar teaching business right now.
Once you do this, you will quickly gain many new
students, earn more money and develop a positive
reputation in your local community as the best
guitar teacher.
