Check with the website of MTNA (music teacher's national
association)-sorry, I don't have it handy, but google will get you
there! Then you can find out if there might be a local chapter near
you. Our local chapter provides a referrals service which can be
helpful in getting a new teacher started. You will then have the
opportunity to meet other teachers in the area and gain information
about pricing, repertoire, and many other important things.
Belonging to NATS (national association of teachers of singing) might
also be useful.

I have also sent information packets to local church choir directors,
public school directors, etc. and have put posters up at the University,
the arts center and the YMCA. I have attended concerts at high schools
and community chorus productions, and used the list of choral members
for a mass mailing (get a mailing list from a member, use a school
directory or the good old phone book for addresses). That having all
been said, most of my students now come from referrals from current and
past students.

Hope this helps!

students!)




I would like to start teaching classical voice and beginnger piano.
Where do I find student? Posters? Word of mouth?
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks!
