Cello Mastermind
The Business Side of Teaching That Nobody Taught You in Music School
$99/month. Cancel anytime. Get the retention strategies, business systems, and community support you need to build a studio that actually sustains you.
They Taught You How to Play. Nobody Taught You How to Run a Business.
You spent years mastering your instrument.
You learned pedagogy, technique, repertoire.
But nobody taught you:
How to keep students enrolled in the summer
What to charge (and how to raise rates without losing everyone)
How to structure your business so you're not just trading time for money
What contracts actually protect you
How to plan recitals that don't consume your life
How to optimize taxes as a music teacher
The Cellosophy Teacher Mastermind fixes that.
What You Get Every Month:
Retention Strategies That Actually Work
My exact playbook for keeping students enrolled year-round—yes, even during summer. No more financial panic every June.
Recital Templates & Performance Planning Guides
Stop reinventing the wheel. Get proven templates, timelines, and checklists that make recitals simple instead of stressful.
Business Systems for Steady Income
Pricing strategies, package structures, payment plans, and models that smooth out your cash flow so you're not living month-to-month.
Tax Optimization Strategies
What deductions you should be taking (and probably aren't). Entity structures to explore. How to pay yourself properly. Not tax advice—but the right questions to ask your accountant.
Contracts, Fees, and Policies That Protect You
Real templates and behind-the-scenes looks at how successful studios handle cancellations, makeups, late payments, and boundaries.
A Community of Teachers Building the Same Way
Monthly group calls, a private community forum, and direct access to other teachers who understand what you're dealing with—because they're dealing with it too.
This Mastermind Isn't Fluff.
No motivational posters.
No "just believe in yourself" nonsense.
Just practical, actionable business training for music teachers who want to build something sustainable.

FAQ:
"Is this only for Cellosophy teachers?"
Nope. Any cello teacher (or private music teacher, honestly) can join. You'll get the most value if you're teaching Cellosophy, but the business principles work for any studio.
"What if I'm brand new and don't have many students yet?"
Even better. Build it right from the start instead of fixing mistakes later.
"Do I get lifetime access if I cancel?"
No. This is a monthly membership. When you cancel, you lose access. But you can rejoin anytime.
"What if I certify in Cellosophy? Do I still pay?"
You get 3 months free with your first certification, plus 6 months free for each additional book you certify in. After that, it's $99/month if you want to stay.
"Is this a bunch of recorded videos or actual support?"
Both. You get the library of resources AND live monthly calls AND an active community. It's not a course you buy and forget about.
"Can I write this off as a business expense?"
Ask your accountant, but probably yes. (See? We'd cover stuff like this inside.)
