Also, I am a member of privatelessons.com (and I have gotten a lot of referrals from them) and learningmusician.com which I have gotten some leads from. If you think about it, signing up for privatelessons.com (which is the most expensive $99/year, if you only got one student from it, within 1 month you have earned your money back, so I think its worth it).

I always had trouble finding decent students on Craigslist. Signed up for privatelessons.com and I got a lead or two but it wasn't worth it. A friend told me about classicalmusicteachers.com and says he's gotten tons of requests but anyone here have an experience with them? Thanks! Thanks for these tips.

There are also plenty of local sites that you can use that are equally as good. And of course, like this site, blogs are free and if you have interesting enough information, people will find you.

I just started back teaching after 20 years doing other things. In two months I have 17 students and calls come in nearly every day, 99% from craigslist.com. BTW, I also signed up for two different "find a music teacher" type websites, one free and one with a subscription. I think I got one student from those. I put an ad (against my better judgment) in a popular local weekly and have had NO response from that. So it's CRAIGSLIST by a long shot. I also set up a simple little website for myself and included a link in my craiglist ad, which gives people a look at my face and my biography. Best of luck! Re: getting new students: CRAIGSLIST!
