Once I had my first singing (voice) student, I needed supplies. I headed to a music retail store nearby. I had a great conversation with two women working there. I described to them what I was looking for and why. Unbeknownst to me, one of the women was the owner. We ended up discussing music education and teaching pedagogy (i.e. how to teach).
Before I left the store that day, the owner offered me a contract. She asked me to work for her 2 afternoons/evenings a week, teaching voice and piano lessons in the music studio portion of her business. I accepted the contract, but only for 1 afternoon/evening a week. By the end of October 2014, I not only had a student in my own studio, but I had landed a teaching contract without even trying. I was stunned and didn't have a clue where I was going! If you enjoyed this article, let me know. Post a comment! Like it! Tweet it! You may also want to read another article in this series:

One morning, early in October 2014, I went to get the mail. On my way home, I ran into a neighbor, pushing her son in his stroller. We stopped and talked.
We had a conversation about life, our careers and what we were currently learning. I told her about my own journey of music mastery in voice (singing) and piano. Before we parted company, she stated that if I ever wanted to teach her daughter voice lessons that her daughter would love lessons from me. Her daughter sang around the house all the time. For the rest of that day, all I could think about was teaching her beautiful daughter. Within 2 days, I took on her daughter as Eden-Smith Music's 1st student (a voice student) that October. The trust and confidence of one parent and one voice student set me on a path to owning my own business, something that I had never even dreamed about doing. If you enjoyed this article, let me know.
