My biggest win with TopMusicPro has been increased student retention and increased income.
There is so much in the TopMusicPro academy. I liked the forums in particular.
TopMusicPro helped me hone in and decide when I best teach, what kind of student I like to teach, and how I relate.
Because of TopMusicPro, I feel a lot more enthused about my teaching and writing. What you get from it far outweighs what you have to pay.
