MELBOURNE, Victoria, 12 October, 2021āTopMusicCo announces a first-of-its-kind global online meetup for professional guitar teachers on 18th October, 2021 at 11am Melbourne time, to launch its TopMusicGuitar program which supports guitar teaching globally.
Attendees can expect a free 1-hour live summit unpacking the latest trends, teaching essentials and lesson ideas to help students have more fun, stay motivated and keep learning with teachers for years.
āEver since we started creating courses, videos, lesson plans and business training for piano teachers back in 2010, guitar teachers have been knocking on our door wondering when we will start helping them. Well, Iām excited to announce that, after months of planning, the time is nowā said Tim Topham, founder of TopMusic.
āTopMusicās programs aim to reduce the isolation instrumental teachers feel, upskill them in their teaching and support them with business training and strategic advice.ā
āVery few instrumental teachers ever receive any formal business training, even though itās critical to their success as a teacher,ā he said. āSimple aspects like finding new students, knowing your numbers, building an online presence – teachers rarely get training in these areas. Thatās where TopMusic comes in.ā
The Global Guitar Teacher Meetup will be the first in a series of free online events for guitar teachers hosted by TopMusicās Head of Guitar Michael Gumley in the coming months.
āAt TopMusic, weāre really passionate about helping teachers level up their skills so that they can create a better learning experience for their students and contribute to a world where more people experience the joy of learning an instrument and can reflect positively upon their time taking lessons. We canāt wait to extend this opportunity to guitar teachers so that we can help them achieve this same mission.ā Michael Gumley said.
