Paul, if you can be serious for two minutes...

Uh oh.....

Paul, if you can be serious for two minutes...

so this is supposed to help you find local students?  And they come to you in person?  And the website gets a cut of your fees?  I guess that would help if students wouldn't otherwise find you.  I guess I would think posters, word-of-mouth, Craigslist, etc. would be just as good.

But then, this is the age of the internet, and it can't hurt.

well if you  google "name of local city" such as Chicago - then "drum lessons" -- - 
"chicago drum lessons" - Take lessons.com will pop some where on the first page - in my searches anyway  




then on takelessons.com  - type in the name of instrument you want to learn and zip code and teacher profiles come up and you get hired through them 




the rate for my area is 15 bucks for 30 minutes 




Teacher has to fill out application and have a bachlor degree in music - they  do a background check on the teacher  and I had about a 30 minute interview - 

also you have to go to a 45 minute webinar orientation 
 

they get you the students and you get paid through them - 

they have said I will have between 2-7 students in teh next 30 days and build of of that - 

thats the basics - and this web site tool is nation wide 

it's free  -  you have to be hired - you dont have to pay anything - they pay you - 

you have a contact that they go over in the webinar  -  basically its a year commitment to the students they give you 



However - you are allowed to puruse students on your own or work for other music companies - as well -  



PS - supposedly - according to them  - they only hire about 8% of the teachers that apply and I am supposedly the cream of the crop -- according to them 


but if you want more students - apply - its not hard  - cant hurt - 

trimph1


Yeah, it sort of had me wondering...

So what would be the distance limit then? Or is that up to each teacher listed?

thats up to the student - but they try to match you with in a 10 mile radius

I wouldn't hire you, but then I've seen several pictures of you. In the words of the etrade baby, I severely underestimated the creepy factor.


Randy

Dang 


 I love you too 

Do you know how much they have to pay them?  That would be high for some areas of the country.  Like here. 

Mooch I don't know...I think there will always be a place for
teachers in the stores or at their own studio.

I think it's great that you're doing what you are and hope it
works out fantastic for ya.

And I'm with Steve...I think he was checking you out....maybe he
was having a day like I had...wondering if you were for real !

I couldn't agree more...
 
 
We all know what the internet's like - you post a picture portraying yourself as a middle-aged man
   
but when you actually meet up you find out it's a twenty year old nymphomaniac lady of the opposite sex.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Psst... Mooch, can I book up a few lessons so you can show me how to play an Am note?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

"just apply - it doesn't take that long" 

Well, I don't have a degree in music.  And it's hard enough to get students to pay my low rate.  But it's still a cool idea. :-)

you have a bachelor degree and area good piano teacher - Apply 


I saw some profiles in there of people who had degrees that were not in music - so they must bend the rules or something - you all ready have experience 




so let's go!!

Mooch, I hope you know I was just kidding about the creepy factor, but you should see about getting a better picture up on the website. It looks like you're watching mudwrestling with some wierd looking dude behind you wearing suspenders. Jus sayin!

Randy

The thing is .... I actually do have a real picture of me watching mud wrestling with a transvestite looking at me with suspenders holding up his thong  - 


maybe that pic would be better ?


HAHAHA


on a serious note  - 


I have to take a better head shot I know - and you can ad video and audio to the profile - and there is some typos and things I need to fix but for some reason I cant get to that part of the profile - 


I have to call them Monday morning and get at least the typos fixed - and have someone take a better pic and get some audio up there 


its all on the "gonna happen" soon agenda  


thanks Randy 

Mooch, I WANT to have 40 students and be able to quit all my other jobs. And I want them to pay me $50/half hour.

No, better yet:  I don't want any students and I just want them to pay me that anyway.  Can you find me a website for that? 

Thank you! 

Now, back to my new song.  ttyl. :-)

I'll keep that in mind.  :-)

(although I'm afraid I'd be out of a job altogether if I charged what I'd like to.)
