From 30 Hours a Week to a Two-Week Vacation: A Voice Teacher's Story

In this episode of the Musicians Creating Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Fabiana Claure sits down with voice teacher and jazz vocalist Dr. Chloe Brisson, who was teaching 30 hours a week of one-on-one lessons and calling it something she did on the side. Today Chloe runs a conservatory-level online group program, teaches about 7 hours a week, and just enrolled her first brand new client from her own ads at $3,500, paid in full. Chloe holds a doctorate in jazz voice performance and trained at New England Conservatory. And for years she still downplayed her teaching to family and friends. In this conversation she walks through the identity shift that had to come first, how she moved long-time private students into a group model, and the two unsteady months in the middle when she wondered if she was taking apart everything she'd built. In this episode you'll hear: How she restructured her studio into a weekly masterclass, office hours and small performance workshops Why she launched before the full program existed, and how one student brainstorm gave her ten weeks of lesson topics The conversations she had with students she'd taught for years, and why her own conviction mattered more than the script How she took two weeks off while her business kept running What happened when a complete stranger saw her ad and enrolled without a face-to-face sales call Why one student grew more in six months of group learning than in two years of private lessons Book A Call With Dr. Fabiana Claure: Book here AI-Powered Online Music Teaching Masterclass: Discover how musicians are using AI to create premium online programs, automate their workflows, and reclaim their time—so they can grow their income without burning out.
