Asheville Music Lessons

I don’t know about you, but if you also teach private piano lessons, or really any kind of private music lessons. I suspect there are times you have had to cancel your lessons for the day. You’ve either become sick, had a car accident, or some other event has forced you to cancel your schedule. Well, you might ind your life made easier if you make use of a voice blast or voice broadcast to get the word out. I don’t know about you, but it seems my students have about three numbers each and if you’re not sure which parent is bringing the student each week, then you’ve probably got on the order of 5 phone numbers to call for each student.

For me, sometimes it seemed easier just to go ahead with the lessons then to spend an hour or two on the phone, but you really don’t want to share the bugs if you can help it. That’s why I started using voiceshot (and did a voiceshot review not too long ago.) And here’s another voiceshot review.

Basically what voiceshot and these other services do is allow you to upload a list of phone numbers and record a message, then you can send the message to the numbers on the list any time you choose. If you already have your list uploaded then you could call in to record your voice message and trigger the voice blast that way.

Yes, it does cost, but it can be fairly cheap. Voiceshot charges 12 cents per successful call and you can “charge” your account in advance. All in all it made my life a LOT simpler when it was time to announce the birth of our second son and cancel lessons for the week because I could tell everyone the date of when I expected to be teaching again all at once. What’s even better you can check through their web interface for real time statistics on the progress of your call(s). It seems as though it handles voice pickup and voicemail fairly well along with redials.

So, if you’re looking for a time saving studio management tip – an automated voice message service is one of the best suggestions I can give you.
