Music School

I haven't heard back from the real estate agent. So I thought I'd put a reminder in my calendar to contact him tomorrow. I have an IT customer who I have to attend to that I had to fix a warranty issue for which was pending long before I decided to stop IT support.

I'm not going to bother putting in council approval with this one. I'm going to just set up the business and go for it. There are no shared, common walls. So there won't be neighbouring businesses or anyone for that matter complaining about noise. Not that there will be noise since it's just mostly acoustic guitar lessons.

There will be a drum kit, but I'll get an electronic one which pretty much makes no noise.

I drew up a plan of how the school will be laid out. This is rough though. I don't have exact measurements, so there are no dimensions to speak of on the plan. However, this drawing gives a rough idea of what it will look like when it's done.

Again, this is rough. But provides ideas. My wife had some say, and what she suggested is what you see above. Previously, I had the drum room on the right, with that room being bigger. But it made the rest of the layout smaller, and hindered the idea of having more than two rooms. Moving the drum room to the left created enough room to add two more rooms.

Going for 2 rooms to 4 gives me double the maximum earning potential.

A concept a musician friend told me about was to have the products caged off when I leave. Leaving the music rooms available for music teachers to teach from as they please. I wondered how this helped me. But he continued with the idea by saying that I don't hire teachers, I rent the rooms out to them. That way I still generate money while I'm not there.

The only thing is, the teaching method is not in my control any more because they just do as they please. Nice idea, but not the direction I'm willing to take.
