Private teaching struggles?

Hi all! Hopefully this is okay to post here — I’m new to Reddit and still getting my bearings lol. Anyway, my husband and I have both taught private lessons and we're working on a little side project to help private instructors. Think scheduling, billing, practice check-ins, parent communication... all in one place instead of spread across a million different apps and text threads.

We're still really early and honestly just trying to figure out if we're solving the right problems before we get too far into it. What are the biggest challenges you face? If one thing could be taken off your to do list, what would it be? Or if you just wanna vent we’re all ears too 😂 any and all thoughts/advice are welcome! Thanks!

Seeking Private Lesson Instructor Input (anonymous survey for market research)

Hi everyone! My partner Elliott and I are both musicians and long‑time private lesson teachers, and we’re working on a project we hope will genuinely help the teaching community. We’ve each taught for years (percussion, flute), and we’ve both felt the pain of juggling admin tasks, communication, and lesson planning across too many tools.

We’re setting out to build a platform designed specifically for private music teachers, students, and parents to simplify all of that. Before we go too far, we want to make sure we’re solving real problems in a way that actually supports teachers’ day‑to‑day work.

We’ve put together a short, 5‑minute survey to gather honest input from teachers. Responses are anonymous unless you choose to join the beta, and we’re not collecting any data beyond what you intentionally share.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfOSxpuL4kv61mCu3m4GFwtg1vj57mZA6IRQgNe5M2pvo6IBw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=114930264084943576728

If you’re willing to share your experience, it would help us shape something truly useful for the teaching community. Thank you so much for considering it — we really appreciate your time and insight!
