Here
are some possibilities for bartering in exchange for reduced tuition:
Help set up or clean up the classroom
Come in a few minutes before your
class, and help set up. This may involve
moving some tables or chairs, setting up instruments, making sure the space is
child-safe, etc. Or stay a few minutes
after class, and restore the space to its regular setup, wash instruments, and
put them away.
Special events
Spend part or most of a day in a
Music Together® booth at a local festival. You’ll supervise children’s play with Music
Together instruments, and hand out brochures and other free materials to
parents. You don’t have to do any
selling, just enjoy being with children and their grownups, and playing with
the Music Together songs. Dates are
available throughout the year. This is a
lot of fun!
Deliver brochures
Drop in at pediatricians,
children’s clothing stores, coffee shops, and any other places you can think of
where parents of young children go, and ask to leave a few brochures at their
front counter. No selling involved, and
you can do this while you’re doing your own errands.
Research
Help locate playgroups,
neighborhood associations, Mother’s Day Out programs, etc. This is a great at-home barter possibility,
especially if you’re good at internet searches or networking.
Your own talents…
Are you gifted at photography, scrapbooking,
sewing, using computers, writing, cooking, party planning, or maybe something
else unusual and wonderful? (It may seem
ordinary to you, but wonderful to me!) Let’s
talk about barter possibilities!
