Professional Guidance / Consult for Freelance Music Teachers Have you ever thought of teaching music privately (or in groups)? Are you teaching now, but have difficulty attracting and keeping students? Are you ready to move into the next level of clarity, ease, and profitability? Many benefits are available to you through freelance music teaching: part or full-time income, accelerating your learning process, enhancing your compassion, and being of service to your community. It's very ironic that the one skill that most musicians rely upon to earn (or supplement) their income is not, or very rarely, taught in schools! Through this training, you'll achieve new clarity about your relationship to Five Essential Teaching Issues to create more ease and more profitability: * Intention * Communication * Organization * Time * Money * When you look at those five teaching issues honestly and follow through with the coaching, you'll be able to consistently generate teaching income outside of a school, institution, or music store. "Music schools never taught me the business side of teaching music, and Michael is a real marketing professional. He has helped my ads tremendously, both on-line and in print, taking them through quite a transformation. Now I'm actually getting responses to my ads! He has also helped me evaluate my professional goals and take the necessary steps for these goals to become realized. I would recommend any freelance teacher to study with Michael to learn how to enhance their own marketing and teaching strategies." -- Alex Kelly D.M.A. (teacher/cellist/recording artist/composer/author) Michael Smolens has been teaching privately and in groups since 1974 and is affiliated with JFK University, Sonoma State University, and the Oakland School For The Arts. He has written and lectured extensively on Musical Creativity/The Art of Practicing and studied with some of the most progressive teachers today. Michael teaches a myriad of different musical styles and has coached vocalists as well as players of nearly every type of instrument. He brings a wealth of approaches and perspectives to his teaching/trainings: from Western and non-Western musical traditions to physical re-training principles, linguistic-conceptual models, and Buddhism. His practical experience with performing, recording, and band-leading has also informed his teaching. Michael has trained dozens of successful Bay Area freelance music teachers and enjoys watching their transformation as players, as well as teachers! Michael can be reached at .
