What we'll be covering

In these bite-sized videos, I’ll re-create EXACTLY how I run my studio right alongside you to show you just how easy it is to do.

  • Calendars. An auto-syncing system that allows students and tutors to book and manage lessons with a few clicks.

  • Communication. Never forget an email or lose a file with this automated solution for sharing important information

  • Cash flow. Integrate instant payment options

  • Convenience. Create an all in one system that will reduce time administering your studio

  • Attraction. An exclusive behind the scenes tour of how I nurture prospective students into my studio on autopilot

If you're anything like me you've been pioneering your studio as a one-person band in your 'spare time'

You've been working into the wee hours trialling different platforms, troubleshooting issues and trying to bring all of the moving parts together...

What I’m about to show you is a result of my research, trial and error of setting up my own online flute studio back in February 2019. At the time, I had a toddler and a brand new baby and so I needed a solution to offering online lessons to my community that was simple and needed minimal input from me.


(This photo was taken a few weeks before I launched)



Fast forward to now, and I have a personal passion to see other studio owners realise their own dreams. So I felt compelled to compile my knowledge and experience together into one turn-key resource that you can easily implement and make your own. 


Who's this short course for?

  • Teachers with home studios who feel like they are drowning in day to day communication and administration and want more time to spend in the classroom and less in front of the computer

  • Entrepreneurial musicians who have been dreaming of starting their own studio, but during a period of great uncertainty want some extra guidance and reassurance to get started.

  • Any educator who wants to make their studio management less stressful and error-prone by reducing the number of daily manual tasks you need to perform

  • Anyone who is SICK of second-guessing the tools and platforms needed and wants to get online music lessons up and running, fast.

I personally coach you click-by-click through the essential tasks you need to accept lesson bookings and payments, and streamline your communication.


Trust me, working through this course will save you some serious time and effort trying to put this together all on your own.

When it came to giving music lessons online there were always the skeptics about how effective it really was and how easy it would be to set up. Thing is even without todays global challenges around social distancing the fact is the reasons for transitioning a music tuition business to online not only makes sense.... it's a whole lot easier than it used to be not so long ago! Challenges such as travelling to lessons, finding a good in your local area, finding the time to learn and practice has always been a source of frustration for both teachers and students! And nowadays being able to deliver your tuition online might actually mean the difference between your students actually being able to learn... and the one thing you need right now in order to maintain a viable teaching business. This course is perfect for teachers and also for all you students out there who through interest (or necessity!) is taking their lessons online. And fortunately for us, Christie hard work putting this course together removes all the legwork out of having to go it alone from scratch so you can get up and running online fast.

I found Christie's course to be very helpful as I build my music own music studio and especially now while we can't have that "gold standard" everyone talks about, the live one to one in person instructional lesson. I have scrawled through countless on line forums only to find myself going aimlessly down the wrong worm hole of misinformation to learn exactly what has been presented in this course. The money you will spend on this course, which is about half your friendly neighborhood weekend warrier club gig pocket change, or the cost of a one hour lesson, is absolutley worth it. I'm not even a flute instructor and the material presented was helpful in every way. For example, I was under the impression that I would typing endless e-mails back and forth to my potential students or parents of sudents and countless hours opening my calendar to jugle an everchanging teaching scehdule I was so greatefull to see right off the top of this program that there is a much easier way out there and Christie walks you step by step through her proven approach. No more scheduling nightmares and you can spend your time teaching and honing your own craft. There are also segments within this course on taking payments, sharing files, software and application merging so they work together. It's all there for one to dig in, learn, try and implement. And now I will! Thank you Chrisite!

This course was really helpful for me, as I feel like I've had a crash course in online teaching since the pandemic took hold. I needed some direction and recommendations for apps I can use to streamline the process. I found the content regarding file sharing, Zoom tips, Zapier, and website suggestions especially helpful. While I appreciated the tutorial on using Calendly, I found it a bit lengthy. Honestly, I have my own scheduling system simply using Google calendar. My website is powered by Wix, and I know I can integrate online scheduling through their apps as well. At this time, I've only moved my in-studio students online. I have not yet received new student requests, but as our school year (what's left of it) winds down, I will be recruiting -- I expect to be teaching exclusively online for the foreseeable future. I look forward to incorporating the tools highlighted in this course as I segue into this new phase. Great instruction -- very clear and easy to follow! I liked the "bite size" videos; it was nice being able to pick up where I left off. I will definitely be interested in future courses. Thank you!

Here's why this integrated platform is SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL than simply using video streaming and Gmail to deliver and manage your lessons.

I hate to say this, but the biggest barrier to your studio growing in student numbers (and revenue) is YOU!

Why?? Well, there's only one of you :) And if you're doing everything yourself, you'll hit your limit soon enough.

I want you to meet a Jump Start student, Tom. He was actually my first student through this course :) I'm thrilled he found it so practically, helpful. 

Here's three ways the Jump Start has proved a time-saver for Tom...

  • "I have scrawled through countless online forums only to find myself going aimlessly down the wrong worm hole of misinformation..."

    Analysis paralysis is real. No more Googling, no more second-guessing yourself, no more trial periods of six different platforms you're trying to learn how to use.

  • "... you can spend your time teaching and honing your own craft"

    You can more fully dedicate yourself to mentoring your students and reaching your own personal potential as a gifted player and performer.

  • "I thought I would be typing endless e-mails back and forth to students and parents and countless hours opening my calendar to juggle an ever changing teaching schedule

    By integrating your availability, calendar and email automation you can eliminate A LOT of ping-pong. Automatic lesson booking and rescheduling rocks.

Hear from Tom...

Instant access

to all course material (and any future updates) that NEVER expires.

It's 100% risk free

  • 7 day satisfaction

    This course comes with a 7 day money back guarantee. Just send me a quick email and show me your work so far. If you feel that it doesn’t deliver, you'll receive your money back. Really.

  • No subscription

    Your access to videos will never expire so you can take this at whatever pace suits you. There’s no sneaky auto-renewing subscriptions to worry about, and no annoying plan to opt out of.

  • Personal email support

    My mission is to help you implement this system and get it working for you. I'm personally available to chat over email, to help with any aspect of the course. I'm here for you and your goals for your studio.

Drop your Calendly system straight into your website OR share using email while you're creating one.

It's ready to be used instantly.

So what does all of this really mean for you?

Less admin time means...

  • Greater profitability potential as you have the bandwidth to proactively invest in business-building (rather than being stuck in 'maintenance mode')

  • More calendar squares you can make available for lessons and increased revenue

  • More personal time to do the things you really love (they were the goals you had for starting your studio in the first place!)

I know what you're thinking...

  • I'm not 'techie' at all. I'm not sure I can get the technology working.

    Don't worry. Neither am I. That's EXACTLY why I've landed on this particular model. It's an ALL in ONE solution, meaning you don't' need to separately research calendars, and payment merchants, and email automation. It's all right here, and BUILT to work together seamlessly, Integrating tools like video scheduling, calendar availability and payment really only takes a few clicks. And in this course, I literally do this with you SIDE BY SIDE. I set up an entire studio, in just a few hours. In the training videos I share my screen and show you EXACTLY where to click. You don't need any particular computer skills or be familiar with any type of software. Just follow my lead, and you will be ready to take lesson bookings and payments INSTANTLY.

  • Do I need a website to use this course??

    No, you don't need a website upfront. If your sole purpose is to simply transition your current students from in-person to online lessons, then you can use the calendar and all its features simply by sharing the link via email or Facebook or text. Students can automatically book and reschedule lesson times and make payment to you.

    But if you DO have a website, Calendly is so incredibly easy to embed and present. Embed you entire calendar into a web page or as a popup. No matter what stage of the journey you're on with building your online presence, this studio ecosystem can slot in and powerfully streamline the administrative process when it comes to managing your student bookings and payments.

  • Teaching online makes sense, but I'm worried the video and audio quality won't be very good and it's less personal...

    There's always been the debate between whether online lessons can measure up to in-person lessons. Can you REALLY build relationship with people when you can't physically meet? Can you really get the very BEST results for your students? Are online lessons second best?

    I have built my entire online flute studio from scratch, without EVER meeting a student in-person. And I've gotten amazing feedback from them, saying just how much they love being a part of my online studio. I am proof that if you set up a system that is a great user experience for your students, they will loyally stand by your side.

    As for tech, there's a few easy settings that make for the best possible audio and visual experience. Feeling nervous before delivering your first online lesson is pretty normal. But you can have confidence in the platform. It's designed to be as simple to use as possible, so you can concentrate on your gifting as a teacher.

  • Are their ongoing costs associated with your studio system?

    It depends. Many of the tools I use are free to use. But depending on the needs of your studio and the parts of the ecosystem you wish to integrate, there may be recurring costs to you as per the integration's individual pricing. Here's one example - if you choose to offer more than one lesson type in Calendly, and want to stay in touch with an automated sequence of emails through MailChimp your estimated monthly costs would be around $25USD. Your costs will vary and could be slightly more or less than this.

My special bonus worth $37 (I've never shared this before!)
