The Accelerate Coaching Program is currently closed. You can join the waiting list below if you want to hear about the next session.

This program is perfect for you if you’re ready to take action towards your goals. Whether you want to…

  • Increase your student numbers
  • Start improvising in your lessons
  • Hire another teacher to expand your studio
  • Design your own custom curriculum
  • Raise your rates and tighten your policies

Or improve anything else about your teaching or business, this small group coaching program will help you get there.

We’ll meet twice a month and break down your goals into micro-targets that help you get moving. You’ll learn from the others in your group and get inspired by their progress.

I have the unique combination of teaching expertise, technical skills and practicality that can help you FINALLY do that thing you’ve been wanting to do. You went through years of lessons to get to where you are as a musician – now it’s time to put that investment into your business and teaching.

Registration closes on January 31st and places are limited. Sign up now to avoid disappointment.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

GROUP COACHING CALLS

We meet every 2 weeks on Zoom to set goals and overcome hurdles. There’s an option for Wednesday or Thursday sessions so you choose the one that suits you.

DIRECT MESSAGES

You’ll connect with me via a direct messaging app called Voxer. That means you can write or send me a voice message any time you’re stuck!

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS

This program is all about YOU. I will do everything I can to help you move forward based on the goals that you set. There are no “shoulds” or “oughttos” in these coaching sessions.

Why me?

Hi, I’m Nicola Cantan! I’m the one running this thing and, if you don’t know much about me, you might be wondering why I’m the right person to help you.

I started teaching as a teenager and I always thought it would be a part-time thing. When it started taking over in my early twenties, I decided I better get serious about it. I began learning everything I could about the different teaching approaches out there – putting my natural grittiness and stick-to-it-iveness to work. I also started taking the business side seriously and applying the business knowledge I had from fashion college to my teaching studio.

I now run a thriving studio with 4 teachers (including myself) and a waiting list that is consistently bigger than our active student list. We are passionate about constant improvement. Our lessons are a testing ground for the best and most creative teaching practices.

I also run a membership site called Vibrant Music Teaching where I provide resources and training for music teachers all over the world. This means that I have the benefit of not just my own experience but also the 3,000+ teachers I’ve helped so far.

I made many missteps and mistakes along this journey and I can help you avoid doing the same.

I promise you that each of these coaching sessions will be effective and efficient, with a sprinkle of fun. (That’s pretty much me in a nutshell!)
