Guitar Teacher’s Roadmap – Phase 3: Teaching was created by
Michael Gumley
Founder and CEO of Melbourne Guitar Academy and Head of Guitar at TopMusic
Michael Gumley is founder at Melbourne Guitar Academy, creator of Guitar Dojo Online and Guitar Ninjas, and TopMusic’s Head of Guitar. He rocked his start at guitar playing at age 15 and was instantly hooked. Michael brings his passion for music and love of all things guitar to every lesson, and seeks to help students capture that same excitement and wonder on their own journeys.
The purpose of this roadmap is to guide you through the complete process of creating a successful guitar teaching business, whether as a solo teacher or music studio owner.
No matter which stage of the journey you are current at, simply follow the steps outlined in this course to effectively plan and build your business, or to grow it from the point it’s currently at into your dream studio!
Whether you’re a total beginner starting fresh, or have been in business for a couple of months or a couple of years, we recommend that you start at the beginning and work your way through. This way you’ll avoid gaps in your knowledge and systems and might even pick up a few things you hadn’t yet thought of.
Remember, the height of your building is determined by the strength of your foundations. Build solid foundations and your business will be able to grow to enormous heights.
