The Process.

  • We are on a mission to create the most accessible, diverse, relevant, and effective professional development for music educators.

    To this end, we’re building the world’s largest online directory and marketplace of music educator mentors, coaches, and clinicians.

    We facilitate the booking, payment, legal, notifications, promotion, and collaboration between Guild Mentors and the educators they serve.

  • If you’re in alignment with our mission and ready to serve, you can complete the Guild Mentor application. We thoroughly vet Guild Mentors, looking into their background, weighing their expertise level, and requiring agreement to the policies of the Guild.

  • Though we thoroughly vet Guild Mentors to ensure they are experienced educators with the ability to make a powerful contribution, we also provide you with our bespoke mentorship training.

    Guild Mentor training ensures all mentors provide consistent assistance, and Guild Members can trust they will be provided with optimal service.

  • Once Guild Mentors are thoroughly vetted and trained, we will set you up in the platforms, including building a landing page and providing back-end access to the apps.

    The Guild Mentor profile page will include an introduction video so Guild Members can instantly connect.

  • Once you’re all set up in the apps, you’re ready to start scheduling and booking! We can’t wait for you to start making a real difference in the lives of music educators worldwide.

FAQs

Do I set my own schedule?

Yes! Our custom booking app, MTG Connect, allows you to sync your Google or Outlook calendar and set the hours that people can book you. If your schedule is blocked out in your personal calendar, it is blocked in MTG Connect, too. We want this to feel easy for you to make a difference in the lives of the people who book you for any service. You can set up the days you want to serve, the times you want to be available, and even how much time you require between offerings.

What services can I offer as a Guild Mentor?

As a Guild Mentor, you can offer 1:1 mentorship or coaching, group coaching, online or in-person clinics, and synchronous workshops (upon approval and using our workshop framework). We want you to offer services based on your expertise!

How will I manage all the bookings?

We hope to fill your schedule with music educators seeking your help or organizations wanting to book you for PD! We also want to make it easy for you to have sessions scheduled, get to know your clients, and set your own schedule. This is why we provide you with an app-based solution and a browser-based solution where you can set your availability, sync your calendar, check in bookings, complete sessions so you can get paid, and track all the data you could need or want to be successful! We manage the business so you can focus on your craft.

What is the investment to become a mentor?

The application process to become a mentor is robust. We want you to focus on providing a quality application, having a quality training experience, and providing quality services - that is your investment at this time. We will fully fund your onboarding and setup!

How does the money bit work?

The Music Teacher Guild will handle all the financial transactions for you! We collect the fees from the individuals or organizations booking you and pay you your share at the end of the month. We have a menu of services you can choose to offer. For 1:1 appointments and group mentorship, you will be paid a percentage of the sign-up fee. The funding we retain helps cover the cost of marketing you, managing all the transactions, payroll, the website, social media, the app, and the personnel to help make all of this happen. It is totally worth it!

Do I get to create my own profile?

Yes! And we will help you. We want people to connect with you immediately, so we will coach you on developing all the information to maximize your profile. We will also use our SEO (search engine optimization) know-how to ensure you’re found on Google, too, and not just through MTG Connect.
