I just set up my studio to be a vendor for the local homeschools. Each family receives funds to spend each month on activities so the homeschool covers their monthly tuition. This makes music lessons and classes very affordable! Since the kids are homeschool it is easy to schedule them during the day (before the usual after school crowd). To get set up I had to be requested by a homeschool family that wanted to attend, turn in the necessary paperwork, provide liability insurance, and get fingerprinted (about $50). The homeschool sent an email to every homeshool family that included our info and class offerings/schedule. We hosted an Open House for parents to come get more info on specific classes and to meet the qualified instructors. Students get a free guitar or violin if they registere by next Friday! Classes are scheduled to begin in 2 weeks!! 😀

I have worked an arrangement to teach at my church. We have access to a piano, an organ, and a keyboard. I have found that, particularly with the younger students, by changing instruments I am able to rejuvenate their waning interest because, as you said, oftentimes lessons are right after school and the kids are tired. The lessons are geared towards the possibility that my students will one day accompany at their own churches later in life. The sanctuary also makes a great place for recitals.
