High Quality and Proven Curriculum
 

The Childbloom curriculum was especially developed for success in teaching a high-skill technique to children ages 5 and up. From the youngest's pride in competency to the teenager's expanding social horizon, the Childbloom curriculum combined with the Childbloom structure, is engaging for children of all ages.

More Value Through the Childbloom System

The Childbloom training allows guitar instructors to access an eager clientelle - children between the ages of 5 and 12. What's more, the Childbloom system allows the instructor to maximize the value of his or her teaching time, teaching up to 8 students per hour successfully. This allows the Childbloom Educator’s hourly income to increase proportionally and yet be competitive in the marketplace. The Program was developed by guitar teachers for guitar teachers and their students.

You Can Take 10 Weeks Off Yearly!

No need to worry about losing all your income during Christmas holidays and summer. We can show you how to schedule and structure your system to allow you and your students to take up to 10 weeks off without your monthly income declining.

Maximize the Value of Your Time

The Childbloom program is designed to be part-time work. You will have time for practice, performance, school, other work or pursuits of happiness.

Income Stability and Opportunity

Besides tuition income, Childbloom Program curriculum creates other income opportunities:

  • Enrollment fees.
  • Stable income through innovative payment structuring.
  • Curriculum sales.
  • Other income generating opportunities such as ensembles, theory classes and camps are made possible through the Childbloom Program.
  • The Childbloom Company regularly offers bonus income to certified instructors for quality in teaching and effectiveness in student generation.

An Addition to Your Lifestyle

Since a typical Childbloom teacher teaches 2-4 hours per day, if you are already a teacher or a performer, no need to change what you are doing. A Childbloom program is designed to grow into your musical lifestyle. The Childbloom Program can easily be a part of a variety of musical career life-styles; whether it is private instruction, university or public school teaching.


Increase your Credentials by Increasing your Skills

A Childbloom teacher brings to an environment such as a music store or school, a specialist in children's music education.  A Childbloom program brings a weekly increase in floor traffic and affluent clientele, a large family customer base, an independent marketing program, hassle-free management, and the ongoing association with the Childbloom Company and other Childbloom Educators to ensure high-quality instruction and program growth. Is it any wonder that Childbloom educators are in great demand by music stores, studios and music schools? As long as there are children and guitars, a Childbloom educator will be in demand.
