I have just worked through Laurie Richards Shared Lessons Program. I would say it is one of the best units of work I have completed in ages and wished that I had had the opportunity to do this years ago when I first started Simply Music. It is very comprehensive and is broken into small easily manageable units and covers all things from setting up and advertising, introductory sessions, documenting classes, organising fees, preparing lessons, playlist organisation, games etc. Laurie speaks clearly and is very easy to understand. She has a thorough understanding of how to manage a studio and how to prepare for group classes. I would say it would make a huge difference to anyone’s studio. Even after teaching for many years, I found loads of great ideas that I can implement already. Thank you, Laurie.

Instructor(s)

Simply Music Master Coach Laurie Richards

A lifelong musician and pianist, Laurie discovered her passion when she began teaching the Simply Music program in 2003. Laurie earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and worked as an Accountant for several years before discovering her love for teaching. Once she began teaching Simply Music, her studio quickly outgrew her home location, at which point she moved to a commercial space and employed several Simply Music teachers. Laurie has worked closely with Simply Music founder Neil Moore for years, has written curricula for the Simply Music program, hosts teacher conferences and enjoys coaching and supporting other teachers. She still maintains a small student base online. You'll find Laurie to be professional but somewhat goofy and quirky. She simply believes in having fun and enjoying every aspect of life!
