Do you want to reach more readers? Do you have a passion for communicating about music and music education? Then here's a perfect opportunity for you. I am opening up my blog to guest bloggers.
What's in it for you?

Every week over 250 readers visit this blog. Here's your opportunity to connect with them.

As music teachers we need to do a lot of communicating. Here's your opportunity to improve those communication skills.
How do you get started?
I'm looking for blog posts relating to music education, piano lessons, guitar lessons, and studio management.
Each blog post should include the following:
- a well-written post about a topic in one of the four categories listed above
- about 200-300 words
To submit your post, you can email me at pianolessonsmn dot gmail dot com.
