Starting a music school. Should I target kids or adults? Which one would sell more?

[Trush Jodie]

I have plans to start a music school. I would have people that are skilled in different aspects of music train others in those aspects.

Should I target the kids with this music school that I want to start? Or I should target adults? Which one would sell more?

I think the decision to focus your music school on children or adults depends a lot on your goals and the market in your area. If you want to create a solid foundation and train musicians from a young age, focusing on children can be an excellent option, as they tend to be more receptive to learning and adapting to new skills. Furthermore, parents often invest in their children's education, which can facilitate recurring sales. On the other hand, targeting adults also has its advantages: many people want to learn music as a hobby or to improve their skills, and they are willing to pay more for personalized or intensive classes. In general, in terms of volume, children's classes tend to sell more, but if you're looking for a more specialized niche willing to pay more, adults are a good option. Ideally, you should analyze the local market and determine which segment has the greatest demand.

You should tackle the two if you have the energy and skills needed but it you don't go for the children they are always ready to learn

I think it would make a lot more sense if you can offer both, maybe you can setup separate times and days for adults and the kids.

I personally think targeting kids with a music school is better. Parents are more willing to enrol their kids in music school than themselves.
