Most importantly, many owners of music schools will develop close and ongoing relationships with guidance counselors and music teachers that are within the target market. This is the foremost way in which these businesses were able to generate revenues quickly given the high school teachers, middle school teachers, and guidance counselors often provide referrals to parents for enrichment activities outside of the school.
