Business Plan: Transitioning Band Teachers to Chorus

Executive Summary:

Our online platform aims to support music educators who are transitioning from teaching band to teaching chorus. We offer a variety of courses, resources, and community support to help teachers successfully navigate this change and excel in their new roles.

Problem Statement:

Many music educators have experience teaching band but may not feel as confident when transitioning to teaching chorus. The pedagogy and techniques involved in teaching chorus can be quite different from teaching instrumental music. There is a need for specialized support and guidance for educators making this transition.

Our platform provides a range of online courses that cover topics such as vocal techniques, repertoire selection, rehearsal strategies, and classroom management specific to teaching chorus. In addition to courses, we offer downloadable resources, lesson plans, and a community forum where educators can connect, share experiences, and seek advice.

Our target market includes current music educators who have experience teaching band and are looking to expand their skills by teaching chorus. This could be teachers in public or private schools, music academies, community music programs, or individual instructors.
