Host Jaime Slutzky jumps right into this episode by answering the question, “how long should your online music course be?”
Depending on the audience, your course will vary widely on how to best present the material for student success. For example, a course for busy professionals who are taking music as a hobby may need content released on a more relaxed schedule or self-paced whereas a course for children may be best suited with a weekly drip.
A successful online course needs to have a clear goal in mind, so it’s imperative to structure your course effectively and spend time planning. The end goal for you, the teacher, is to have your students be successful, so keep them in mind at every step of this process.
Once you’ve figured out the course content and completed planning, you can start creating all the materials. Luckily, Jaime also offers recommendations for this, too!
Listen in for a crash course on creating the right size online course for you AND your students!

In the early days of COVID, schools were hyper-focused on implementing remote learning modalities as an emergency response. As the pandemic has evolved, however, so too have education responses.
As we begin the 2023 school year, it appears that we have reached a crossroads between the online world and the offline world!
This crossroads is the theme of today's conversation with business strategist and voice maven, Michelle Markwart Deveaux, who is the CEO of FaithCultureKiss Studios and the Founder of The SpeakEasy Cooperative, a vibrant online community for voice teachers and voice-related entrepreneurs.
Michelle has her finger on the pulse when it comes to both online and offline music education and, in this episode, she shares how you can take advantage of the unique value proposition that being online presents.
There is so much more to teaching music online than your lesson plan and there is a definite mindset shift from teacher to business owner, which Michelle believes is critical to your success. We touch on what it means to be a business owner who is in the business of teaching, rather than changing your identity.
Michelle shares her advice on structuring your business model around what you want your workday to look like, creating the course content that your audience needs, and focusing on important curriculum development, plus so much more!
There is no doubt that this discussion is going to get you thinking and help you make the impact you desire, so make sure not to miss it!
Topics discussed in this episode:
What Michelle means when she says we are at a crossroads
How music teachers have adapted to online modalities of running their businesses
A look at how the shift to online has become a unique value proposition for teachers
Tips for structuring your business model around what you want your day to look like

Now, let’s start this off with a question: don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall in a successful online music studio?
Like, understanding how they are successful with online live interactive lessons and how they navigate the student experience for courses? That’s what we’re talking about today… so cozy up, I’m excited!
Whether you came to teaching online because you wanted to or because it was the only option available to you, I'm glad you're here and I'm glad that you are thinking about what else you can do to enhance your studio experiences for students.
Live interaction
This is where you are in front of the screen in real time with your students.
Before the lesson begins, the teacher will get organized:
Computer related equipment, such as camera(s), microphone(s), lighting, headphones and proximity to router/internet strength
Teaching equipment and supplies, such as instruments, sheet music, audio files, video files, activities, games, PDFs, etc.
Use checklists for this. You’ll thank yourself every time!
Student readiness also involves a checklist and might include a sound check or quick check in prior to the first lesson.
Making sure a student is ready for the lesson is a huge piece of the lesson being a success from the start, so be sure to communicate effectively and over deliver lesson links. I promise, this is valuable!
Now, inside the live interactive lesson, don’t wing it and don’t take the lesson down to the second or minute. Just have a really good idea how to keep the student engaged and motivated during the entire interaction. The screen creates a barrier, do whatever you can to drop the barrier by making things fun and experiential.
And wrap up your lessons with action steps, homework and recapping the session.
If you’re using Muzie.Live then that is a perfect place to insert the post-lesson summary. And you can also include your pre-work list in their practice room. (No this podcast episode is not sponsored by Muzie, I just really like their software for online music lessons!)
Asynchronous Student Interaction
Let’s go through the touch points: how you interact with that student before, during and after they go through your course
Before is from the time that they purchase your course through the time that they access that first lesson.
The first communication is setting the stage and help them understand what they have signed up for. This can be done via email, text message, inside a facebook group, a slack channel, a discord channel or whatever your preference is.
Make sure that your students feel like you are in communication with them and that you are giving the best of you to them so that they can truly do their best.
There is no such thing as too much communication!
Set expectations
Equipment & supplies
How they're going to access the content
Links that they need
What to do if there's a problem
During is while they are actively learning and working through the course
Assignments / feedback loops
Quizzes and self-assessments
Open door / office hours / q&a calls
Regular email communication
Music is not created in a vacuum, It is created through energy.
When your students feel like you are pouring energy into them by providing them with feedback and with a space where they can experiment, they are going to continue to show up to the material. They are going to succeed!
After the course is complete is when they are done with it (or no longer have access to the material)
Ask for a testimonial and feedback.
Encourage them to take the next step (and tell them what you believe is a great follow up to this course.)
Send a survey
Send a certificate of completion
Shout them out on social media
Make a big deal about it. It's not a lot of work from your side and it is so well received

About our guest
Ishita Arora is the CEO & Founder of Dayslice. She came up with the idea of creating Dayslice from an interesting perspective; as someone who had friends who were teachers and instructors who had expressed frustrations with their processes when it came to how their businesses were run, and as someone who has tried booking lessons with instructors in various fields and seeing the issues that came along with that.
She wanted to come up with a way that took the frustration out of running the crucial parts of people’s businesses - for both the teachers and the students - to make the experience seamless!
What is Dayslice:
Dayslice steps in for your bookings, payment collections, reminders, communications and more - to automate these systemic functions. Using Dayslice, you will have more time to focus on your favorite parts of running your online music studio!
Why Dayslice:
Dayslice was created with the user in mind, with the focus being ease of use and quick set up, so that you can focus on YOUR zone of genius to run your business and not also worry about learning a bunch of new tech to do it!
Think about how much time you’ve wasted in the past (or, maybe you’re still stuck here) trying to come up with branding for your business. We’re not all graphic designers - and Dayslice takes a huge part of that off of your plate! They integrate with Pexels so that you get access to beautiful, high quality images and branding for your business that will be automatically sized to look “just right” at the top of your dayslice page.
And when it comes to colors, pull a couple from your new pexels photo or use existing brand colors. Dayslice will create a custom gradient with them to theme your site with ease.
The main feature of dayslice is calendaring and payments. Students can purchase single or multi-packs of lessons and schedule or reschedule as needed. Dayslilce has simplified the scheduling process and by taking payments ahead of rendering your music lessons, you won’t be chasing after missing funds.
Making it easy
You are in control of how students can purchase and schedule lessons. Lesson lengths are whatever you choose, with your desired buffer between them and according to your desired general availability with consideration for what is already on your Google calendar.
You are in control of your prices. Prices can be set for individual lessons and bundles or multi-packs at whatever number you desire. Students can book all sessions at once or book as they go. Optionally, you can set an expiration date for multi-packs.
Dayslice is also very passionate about their customer service, feedback, and the user experience - and because of their dedication to their clients they make themselves so easily available to you. They have options to reach out to support via email, text, getting on a call, etc. The days of talking with automated robots who can’t answer your frustrations are gone with Dayslice!

Let’s talk about Instagram Reels!
Here we go… 5 Reel prompts, done 5 times each to make an absolute difference to the way you reach more ideal students (and their families) on Instagram.
Yes, I know these prompts can be used on other platforms or for other content creation needs, so go with it as you see fit!
Check out my IG: https://www.instagram.com/jaimeslutzky/
#1: Behind the scenes
This includes taking snapshots or short clips of things that are going on day-to-day in your business. Students don't necessarily see this stuff, and by showing them more of yourself and your studio workings, we can start to build a connection.
#2: 3 Quick Tips
Three is an ideal number because you have up to 30 seconds on a reel and we want to make sure that we are giving ample time to the tips. The tips should build on each other.
#3: Trending Audio
This one is super, super fun because the first thing that you have to do is go on Instagram and watch reels. Take note of what audio is trending and resonates with you. When you tap on the audio at the bottom of the reel, you’ll be able to use that audio in your own reel. I like to save the audios so that I can keep on searching and then go back and create when I think I’ve had a good sampling.
The Instagram algorithm really likes trending audio. When you use trending audio, your reel becomes part of the audio’s story which increases your reach.
#4 Do This, Not That
This is a strategy where you can showcase what people normally do and what you recommend they do instead. Keep it fun and exciting and positive.
And while we’re talking about this, it’s a great time to remind you that your reels do not need to be all talking head style… you can intersperse screens with just text or scenery or whatever. When you use your voice, you don’t need to have the text on the screen, but I do like to always make my reels available to be appreciated without audio.
And for #5, we have two options depending on who your target viewer is
#5a: Student montage and/or student wins
This allows your reels viewers to see real successes that your students have achieved and to envision themselves having those wins.
#5b: Your growth
Share what podcasts you’re listening to, what programs and courses and books you’ve purchased to help you do more, faster, better in your studio. Personal and professional development type content is what you’re showcasing here.
It's saying this is how I am improving myself and my business so that I can benefit my students even more and help them progress even further.
My challenge for you is to use each of the five prompts five times.
You’ll be creating 25 reels over the course of 25 or more days. I’m personally posting 4 times a week, so it’ll take me just over 6 weeks to post my 25 reels.
Find a cadence that makes sense for you and structure your reels so that they are in alignment with your Instagram goals.
Ready to take the next step:

Join the waitlist for OMCA: https://onlinemusiccourseaccelerator.com to be on the shortlist for the next round of our flagship program where you’ll have full support throughout your online course creation journey.
Have questions or want to connect? https://callwithjaime.com is the best way to get on my calendar
And finally, take part in the challenge. Tag me or send me your reels. I would love to share them in my IG Story!It's time! Round 3 of the Online Music Course Accelerator is open for application. Click here for details.

Let’s make your business truly work for you ~ this means going from being a solo music teacher and elevating yourself into an online studio owner!
You have a very solid foundation of teaching your one on one students and whether you do that online or if you do that in person or you do it in a hybrid approach that is your core offer right now…
It’s now time to build out from that core offer so that you can have multiple revenue streams which stem from it. These new revenue streams will logically fit
before your core offer,
alongside your core offer,
in parallel with your core offer
or after your core offer

Guess what? This podcast is not about building one-to-many programming… surprised? Well, that’s one objective I hope you have on your future plans, but there are revenue streams that can fall in place, increase your top line and bring you joy that take far less time to get going.
For many music teachers, the joy of teaching music is in the interaction with students, so the idea of “taking you out of the scene” doesn’t necessarily appeal to them.
There are actually two revenue streams that you can start implementing and creating right now based on what you are currently doing within your existing lessons.
1) Digital Downloads
The first revenue stream you can add is digital downloads. These come about by creating something out of the proprietary content that you teach in your lessons.
Maybe you create worksheets or workbooks or exercises for your students, throw them into canva to make them look pretty. Then you can make them available for purchase through sites like teachers pay teachers or your own website. And you can also sell these of course through social media.
These digital downloads are a huge benefit to the person who buys them because it's a lesson in a box. It makes it really easy for other teachers or ambitious students to be able to access quality teacher resources without having to interact with that teacher.
And they don’t need to be elaborate or complete; one or two of these is fine. They are the beginning of a new revenue stream.
Affiliate Marketing
The second revenue stream is referral or recommendation income. You’ll make a percentage or flat rate of the purchase price of products and services that you already recommend to students and other teachers.
You are seen as a trusted advisor by your students, right? So when a student says, what book or equipment or supplies should I be using, you let them know what you think would be best for them. So why not monetize that aspect of your business? I’m not suggesting marketing or recommending products that you don’t truly love only for the affiliate income, but look into making some side income from products and services that you do like and use.
One way to do this is to become an amazon affiliate or an Amazon associate as they are referred to. This is easy to setup and many of the products on Amazon are included in the program. There is a fairly high referral volume that you need to maintain, so if you aren’t generating enough leads, this might not be as lucrative.
The way that I actually prefer to become an affiliate for a product or service is to go directly to the creator and inquire about their direct program. If they don’t have one, they might also have a reseller level.
Affiliate programs and digital downloads are some of the fastest ways to get started building a secondary revenue stream online.
Of course, I am all about the courses and all about the workshops and all about the live online programs. These are just some of the additional nice-to-have options that you can start to implement to diversify your income as you're working on those bigger, exciting projects!
ELEVATE!
When we begin to think about online income, it’s time to build an audience who is ready for the material that we are delivering.
Welcome ELEVATE! This is the Online Music Teacher Marketing course that I have developed with Brocha Kahan. It is a course designed to help you build trust with an audience online so that you have a larger pool of people who might be interested in one or more of your revenue pillars.
Elevate is now available on demand! You are able to join that course at any time.
Click here to learn more!
I'd love for you to come into Elevate! and for you to start building the framework online so that you can have multiple revenue streams.
The best place to start…
Take a look at your current interactions and teaching
what you are currently doing with your students,
how you're bringing your students on,
what process you're taking them through,
at what point you feel that they have graduated or matriculated to the next level of study.
Don't just look at a student as a student; watch and learn from their student journey. The student journey is everything!
What digital assets you create → that revolves around what your students are doing. The affiliate products or the products that you recommend or promote to them → that's all about the student journey. The courses and workshops that you are going to create → those all intersect with your student journey.
The more we can benefit the student, the person who is paying for whatever it is, the more you're going to be able to build these revenue pillars.
Check out Elevate!
Please remember that building a successful online business is not a sprint, You don't have to implement all of these things all at once, all at the same time and try and promote and market every single thing.
Do things methodically, do things one after another in a logical way that benefits the student journey.

Welcome to the Expand Online podcast, I'm your host Jaime Slutzky and this is episode 235.
Today's topic came about after a recent conversation with a prospective client who was just so unsure how to take his music studio from where it currently is to where he wants it to be.
See, he has consumed a lot of free content online and didn't know how to invest in his business to see those results.
He wanted to know if I thought a course was the right next step or if I thought a more interactive program would do better or if he should just work with me privately.
I knew that all three options could work for him, but that it wasn't up to me to tell him what to do. It was best for me to lay out the key differences and potential of each option.
And I did... and now I'm coming here to the podcast to do the same for you. But before we get there, know that this conversation came about because he booked a call with me at https://callwithjaime.com and you can do that too. Or if you are all about the DM's send me one over on Instagram or on Facebook.
Now, then, let's talk about getting to the next level for your studio.
Buying a Course
Online courses are a fabulous way to learn something new. They work really well when you are certain you know what you want to learn and you have the self-discipline to take the time to consume the course material and implement the suggestions provided inside the course.
I love courses; I’ve been helping clients create courses since 2016 and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon… that being said, for your business, you want to be really discerning about what the course promises are and make sure that they fully align with what you want to achieve.
If you want to get started with online marketing, then I would strongly recommend joining Elevate! which is the course that Brocha and I have developed. This course will help you start and grow your email list and begin to truly leverage social media for business growth. And we do everything in this course to keep it completely relevant to music teachers.
There are thousands of courses you can purchase. Some are sold directly by the course creator, like Elevate! others are sold through course marketplaces like Udemy and membership sites like Skillshare. While many of the courses on those types of platforms are fine, they are discounted in such a way that the creators don’t make a lot of money from them and you’re likely not going to get any level of support from those creators or platforms either.
Most likely, the courses that are going to help you get to the next level for your studio are going to teach something about marketing or sales or product development or product delivery.
Before buying a course, make sure that you like the style of the course creator… do a little research on them. If they have a podcast, listen to a couple of episodes. Or check YouTube or Facebook or TikTok or Instagram and watch their videos. Even shorts and reels can help you determine if you like their voice, mannerisms and style!
A course is a lot like what you do – your teaching is generally linear, your students need to be able to identify how to play the notes on the instrument before they can play the notes on the staff on their instrument.
Truth be told, a course is only going to get you so far… they don’t come with accountability, support or personalization.
For that, your course creator is going to either offer an upsell to the course or a higher level program.
Interactive Program
Now, the next level of offer to consider is an interactive program. This is more than just a course with support. It’s really built differently. It’s built with individuality in mind.
OMCA is an interactive program. We have the underlying structure of instruction which is linear and then we overlay it with individual attention for each of our clients. One client might need to spend more time on sections 1 or 2 whereas another client will breeze through 1 and 2 but then spend more time on 3 or 4 or 5.
I really think that interactive programs are perfect when you want to do something bigger, like build a course or expand from a single teacher studio to a multi-teacher studio. These programs are going to help you spread your wings.
When looking at interactive programs, understanding the timeline and recommended time investment is paramount. The coaches who run interactive programs have ideas on how long each component is going to take their participants in order to achieve the promised results, staying on track is going to help you keep going.
At this time, I recommend linear interactive programs to most people, because frankly I’ve been burned in a few non-linear programs that I’ve joined. When you’re looking at joining a program, you’ll find that some are evergreen and some are open-cart close-cart. The open-cart close-cart programs provide you with built in accountability because you’re starting the program at the same time as a cohort of participants and by default you’re all going through it in parallel.
Evergreen programs allow students to join at any time which is extremely convenient for participants because you don’t have to wait, but you might not find your biz bestie in those.
Just as with courses, do a bit of due diligence as you seek these programs out. Make sure you believe that the program is going to help you take your studio to the next level and that you can effectively learn from the provider.
Also ask questions about past participants and other leaders in the organization who will be working with you. Right now inside OMCA, our clients work directly with me and Brocha. In time, we are hoping to bring on additional advisors or coaches who can work more closely with our clients providing them some of the technical and wordsmithing services that we do right now.
I was just looking at an interactive program for myself and the structure is that the recorded content is from the provider and all the interaction is done with their staff. This isn’t a bad thing, but it was an important thing for me to understand as I determine if it’s the right program for me. And that’s what I want for you as well.
Oh, and one more thing about interactive programs, most of the time they are going to come with the strongest guarantee. More than courses and more than coaching too.
Coaching
So, now with coaching, this is where the relationship is entirely one-on-one. It’s like your private lessons. You’ll work with your coach to get to a certain objective or for a specific period of time. Most coaches book 3- 6- or 12- month packages which may include done-with-you, done-for-you, reviewing your do-it-yourself elements or a hybrid of these.
When hiring a coach, it’s helpful to understand what they are best at and how they can help your business move forward. There are seriously thousands of different coaches who each approach coaching differently. Some will provide you with templates and methodologies to work through together while others will ask a ton of questions to help you get to the answers that are inside you.
When I coach clients, I mostly do the latter. I want to understand what they are wanting to create or do and then work through their tech roadblocks. I generally include done with you and done for you services because it’s far easier for me to get in and do the technical work and then provide a cheat sheet to my clients to use over and over again.
And coaching is going to be a unique relationship. No two clients that I coach are going to come to me with the same wants and needs and goals. It’s my job to truly understand them and only offer coaching services to those people I believe I can truly help move their studios forward.
I’m not going to coach my clients on things that I’m not the best at. And I hope any coach that you consider working with is going to be as discerning as I am.
Oh, and while I’m here, I just want to mention that group coaching is something that I consider an interactive program. It’s much more coach guided and not goal driven.
What’s your next step
Well, if you’re looking to add a new way to bring students into your existing offers, then a coach or a course is probably going to serve you best.
If you are looking to add a new revenue stream to your business, then an interactive program or a coach is likely the direction I would recommend.
If you’re looking to become more efficient or streamline processes, you can probably find what you need with any of the types of services I have mentioned in this podcast episode.
Investment
Now, before I leave you to take your next step, the last thing I want to mention is the investment…
There are three investments we’re going to make: financial, time and energy. Courses, interactive programs and coaches are all going to require each of these.
Going all in on a course, program or coaching opportunity is the best way to get a return on your investment. If you spend a lot of money but don’t put your best time and energy into it, the return is not going to necessarily be there. If you put a ton of time into a program but the financial investment is low, the return might be positive but it might not truly move your studio forward. And if you put a ton of energy into it but the program doesn’t align with your studio growth goals the result is not the movement you were hoping for.
OK, I’m going to wrap up with this… if you are ready to get to the next level, then decide what that looks like and do your research. Feel great about your course, program or coaching investment and visualize what your studio is going to look like on the other side!
