Grow Your Income.
Teach With Confidence.
Build a Profitable
Music Teaching Business.
Without the overwhelm. Without the guesswork.
Without adding more teaching hours.
As Seen In:
Hi, I'm Glory St. Germain.
I help music teachers stop feeling overwhelmed, underpaid, and unsure. Instead, I help them build confident, profitable music teaching businesses that actually sustain them.
Here's what I know about you:
You didn't get into teaching music to struggle financially. You got into it because you love music and you love teaching.
But somewhere along the way, you realized that being a great teacher doesn't automatically translate into having a sustainable business.
And that's not your fault. Nobody teaches us this stuff.
This program changes that.
Read More About Me
You already know how to teach. What you need is a system that helps you →
âś“ Teach music theory with clarity and confidence (even if theory isn't your strongest area right now)
âś“ Run profitable group theory classes that increase your income without adding more teaching hours
âś“ Build a professional, sustainable teaching business with real structure
The Transformation Looks Like This:
BeforeÂ
- Teaching mostly 1:1 lessons (which caps your income)
- Working far more hours than you're paid for
- Second-guessing yourself on how to teach theory effectively
- Knowing group classes could help but having no idea where to start
- Finding marketing confusing, overwhelming, or just plain uncomfortableÂ
Most music teachers are
excellent educators.
But no one ever taught them
how to run a business.
And here's the hard truth:
Great teaching alone does not create a sustainable business.
Without systems, strategy, and structure, even the best teachers burn out.
 I've seen it happen over and over again: talented teachers struggling financially, studios stuck at the same income level year after year, and teachers doubting themselves not because they lack skill, but because they lack structure.
That's why I created this program.

Certification Course

three essential pillars:
