I generally travel but I have a few lessons where I teach from my recording studio.
In an ideal world I would like to studio share with a fellow teacher to teach so the rental cost is shared.

My main reason to why I travel is because I feel students are generally more comfortable learning in their own homes.

This is a tricky one.
I also travel and I use travelling costs to cover these outgoings.
I have been a trained teacher for over 12 years now and have taught peripatetic lessons on and off for around the same amount of time.

I am thinking seriously of increasing but am fearful of losing students so I think what I may do is wait one more year and point out that I will be increasing. Any potential new students I have in the coming year I may consider bringing up the cost. It will probably be about £2.00 increase.

It is definitely worth doing. I use a friend’s garage from time to time. I would treat it like designing your classroom or office. make sure it is insulated and have it like a relaxing room. A student has to feel comfortable in it. You will need all the usual insurances as well.

Angelena Payne once you have an idea send it over and I can give it a read if you want?

Hi Angelena Payne Think about how long you want it for and whether you want to cover performing/ composing/ L&A or all 3…Sometimes it is easier doing your own SoW as then it becomes more personalised.
