Why Most Drum Teachers Stay Stuck (And How to Break Free)
There’s a common myth in the drum teaching world:
“If you’re great at teaching, your studio will take care of itself.”
But here’s the truth I had to learn the hard way:
You can be an incredible teacher and still struggle to fill your schedule, raise your rates, or take time off.
That’s because no one teaches us how to run a business.
I didn’t grow up studying marketing. I just loved drums and wanted to share that love with others. But teaching alone didn’t pay the bills — and the grind of constant 1:1 lessons nearly burned me out.
The breakthrough came when I started applying real business principles to my studio.
What I built wasn’t just a better calendar. It was a system.
Through three frameworks, everything changed:
The Passion to Profit™ Framework – Helps you package, price, and promote your lessons so they sell themselves.
The Success Through Authenticity™ Framework – Lets you grow your business while staying 100% you.
The Time-Saving Teacher™ Framework – Puts systems in place so your business works even when you’re not teaching.
With those in place, Studio Drum MTL grew from a solo hustle to 200+ students, multiple studios, and a teaching team.
Now I help other teachers do the same — inside the Drum Educators Network (DEN).
If you’re ready to grow a studio that’s aligned, scalable, and profitable — without losing your passion in the process — this is your invitation.
