In this episode, fitness professional Daniel Matthews shares how functional fitness can help musicians and teachers prevent injury, improve posture, and build sustainable careers. He reminds us that just like music, health doesn’t have to be about elite performance—small, consistent habits matter most. As we head into a new school year, Daniel’s insights are the perfect reminder to care for the body that makes music possible.

Music Studio Business Building 101

Business Finance for Music Teachers

Hey everyone, it's Andrea with Music Studio Startup and I'm excited to share what we've got coming up this school year. We are back to our regular interview format. And I've got some great episodes lined up, including chats with fitness experts for musicians, group studio owners, and more amazing teachers and entrepreneurs.

Over in The Hub, our members are continuing to get their studios more organized and streamlined. This fall, we're diving into sales and marketing systems to help teachers bring in new students and keep their studios running smoothly. I'm also teaming up with our CPA Charles Harris to beta test a brand new course this fall all about helping teachers feel more confident with bookkeeping and studio finances. And looking ahead to spring, we'll be running our biannual Studio Launch Grant Competition once again. You can get updates on that by joining the list at musicstudiostartup.com/grant. So we've got lots in store. To learn more about the Hub, bookkeeping course, or grant competition, head over to musicstudiostartup.com

Welcome back! We’re doing a special series on the podcast this summer called Studio Snapshots. Rather than the in-depth, process-oriented interviews you’re used to hearing, these rapid-fire interviews give us a glimpse in a guest’s studio at a moment in time.

They’re part reflection, part anticipation of the future, and fully a celebration of where these teachers are today.

Today I’m talking to Arielle Sukhram-Ziemer.
