“It is gratifying that Wenjen is unapologetic about conducting music teaching as a business. Running a successful studio takes more than just being an extraordinary instructor. It takes business knowledge. Wenjen simplifies what otherwise might be a daunting task: how to start or improve the way you run your music teaching studio business.”

““I love this book and am using it for my undergraduate course in Music Entrepreneurship. My favorite aspect is the conciseness of the chapters, so that enough information is presented, BUT it is complete enough that one can seek further information as needed. The language is friendly and usable for any studio.”
