When Hugh Sung went paperless and started creating page turning pedals, the iPad was a long way off from being invented. Through Airturn, Hugh discovered the art of business, and learned to love this part of his work. Hugh used this business attitude to build up his online teaching, and now reaches hundreds of students a week.

As musicians, we're often reluctant to charge for what we do. We love doing it so much, that we almost feel guilty charging any money at all. Many piano teachers are not charging what their worth, working long hours, and feeling like they're not making an impact. To change this you need to think about the art of business, and we need to get creative.

If you feel like you're in a rut with your studio, Hugh recommends setting aside a dream day or a dream hour. Use this dream hour to brainstorm how you would like to move forward, and set aside some time each week to change your situation.

Hugh Sung has such a unique insight into the business side of teaching, and I'm so excited to have him back on the podcast for business month.
