When you learn what a new student wants before their first Muzeg™ lesson, you can tailor the session, impress quickly, and raise the chance they rebook with you.
Why ask about goals in advance?
- Personalized start: You spend the first lesson teaching (not interviewing), using material that fits their level and goals.
- Signals professionalism: Proactive prep shows respect for their time and builds trust from day one.
- Stand out: If a learner trials multiple teachers, the one who prepared with their goals in mind usually wins the follow-up booking.
Use Muzeg™ tools to capture needs
- "Contact Teacher” form: Students can send you goals, level, and interests before booking. Check and reply promptly. See: What is the Contact Teacher Form?
- In-app chat / Classroom messages: If they booked without a message, follow up via the built-in chat to confirm goals, tech setup, and repertoire ideas.
Quick message template (copy/paste)
Hi [Name]! I’m excited for our [date/time, timezone] lesson. Could you share: (1) your experience level, (2) 2–3 goals (e.g., pieces/skills), (3) any gear you’ll use (instrument, mic/cam), and (4) preferred styles? I’ll tailor the first lesson accordingly. — [Your Name]
Prepare a tailored first lesson
- Design a 3-part plan: warm-up → core skill/piece → mini-assignment.
- Bring level-appropriate excerpts or exercises and one stretch challenge.
- End with a micro-win and clear next steps so rebooking feels natural.
Day-of checklist
- Confirm link/chat channel (Muzeg™ Classroom or your chosen video tool), audio works, and materials are loaded.
- Open with their goals, agree on success criteria for the session, and finish by suggesting the next lesson time.
