Why Most Guitar Teachers Struggle To Get A Lot Of Guitar Students

It is very difficult to get students for your guitar teaching business when you make excuses for why you don’t have them. Making excuses causes you to not take action to get new students. Understanding why the most common excuses are false makes it easier to take this actions.

Here are common excuses for why guitar teachers can’t get students and why they are wrong:

Excuse: “The economy is too bad right now. People don’t want to pay extra money for something like guitar lessons.”

Reality: Regardless of the economy, there are ALWAYS people willing to pay good money to take guitar lessons. Become clear on the value you offer to potential students and explain to them why taking lessons with you helps them become great players. Then charge based on the value you are offering (they will pay it!).

Excuse: “I can’t get very many guitar students because the city I live in is not big enough.”

Reality: Living in a small city does NOT prevent you from getting guitar students... if anything, it makes it easier for you to become known as the #1 local guitar teacher. This gives you better opportunity to dominate the market, since anytime someone wants to learn guitar they come to you.

Excuse: “I never got a degree for music at university, so students don’t think I have enough expertise.”

Reality: Most guitar students could care less if you went to college for music. They really only care about one thing: can you get them the results they want in their guitar playing? Convince them you CAN do this, then get them started on achieving their guitar playing goals.

Main Point:

You can and should have more students RIGHT NOW. The real reason you don’t have more students is that you don’t have the right strategies in place that help you get it done.
