Do you think 14 year olds could run a music business?
A few of my friends and I have had this idea that we could teach beginners how to play instruments. [Using fake names] I would teach cello and piano. [Jen] would teach clarinet and guitar. [Rachel] would teach voice, trumpet, and french horn. And we have other friends who may help but aren’t quite sure (drums, flute, violin, and viola). We also have a manager.
We are all very mature and extremely smart for our ages. We’ve all been playing for a long time and are good with children and adults. Do you think we could do it?
We would teach in our extra guest room which is on the first floor and our pool room is big enought it could be a waiting area. And grounded? Who? Me?
what if you get grounded?

I think if you are exceptional musicians that you MAY be able to pull it off. The problem however, aside from schedule conflicts, etc., would be determining rates to charge, etc. and to make sure from say a private tutor, etc. that YOU GUYS are PROPERLY playing your instruments and are up to par with music fundamentals, etc. When I was 14 I wanted to run a music store – pet shop with a friend. She moved away sophomore year and I ended up going to school at age 19 to learn the trade of musical instrument repair which I’ve been doing since then. Age does help bring out your qualities and business practices. I’ve been selling flutes since I was 18 so in comparison to that I’d suggest you contact musicians, band directors, etc. (especially folks who specialize in a particular instrument which applies to each of your skills) to make sure your playing and techniques are up to par before pursuing further! Good luck!
