This interview is GOLD! Eric Branner is the CEO of Fons payment software for service providers. I had such a great time chatting with him. He knows his stuff and has some amazing tips for helping teachers double their rates and manage their studios like a pro.

Key Takeaway - In general most music teachers don't charge nearly enough. When you double your rates (or increase them significantly) you'll attract high-quality students that are willing to pay you and stick with you!
