Quick and easy tips to help you get through touch economic times:

1.    Offer less lessons each month.  It’s better than earning no money at all
    from the student.

2.    Offer small and large group lessons at a discounted price.

3.    Allow siblings and / or friends to take lessons together and charge a discounted price.

4.    Offer discounts for lessons paid in advance.

5.    Offer one free lesson for new students (even a 20 minute trial lesson.)

6.    Incentives are excellent.  Offer a discount for one month or a short time,
    such as, until January 31, six one-hour music theory lessons are
    discounted to $200 instead of $250.

7.    Bring a friend for a lesson and receive a $20 discount.

8.    E-mail and snail mail school teachers on a regular basis.  You can never
    market yourself too much.  Send brochures and / or business cards to
    teachers. 

9.    Take some of your students to the mall, Starbucks or local coffee shop to
    play for free.  Pass out brochures and business cards.

10.    Refer a friend and receive a free theory lesson.
