The night before our series of live events 2018 kicked off, everyone came together to get registered, talk and have fun! The air was full of anticipation & excitement, and everyone was pumped! Attendees ran into old friends and connected with new ones as they went through registration and were handed their access passes and event programs. 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 1

---

"The advice, encouragement and support you have given me is truly amazing! This is why I travel 1000s of miles every year, because there is nothing else like it in the world!" - Simon, Australia

This event is for three kinds of people:

1. Inexperienced teachers who aspire to learn how to earn a lot of money teaching guitar.
    
2. Experienced, expert teachers who already are successful but want to reach the next level of success, help more students and earn even more money teaching guitar.
    
3. The best guitar teachers in the world seeking even greater levels of wealth.

We lock ourselves in a room for 8 hours a day, over a 6-day period. In this time, we discuss the most closely guarded secrets about how to attract hundreds of new guitar students every year, teach guitar better than anyone else in your local area and earn at least 6-figures per year while only teaching guitar part time. Together, we go far beyond just learning "about" getting massive results for your students and building a successful guitar teaching business - we work on building the key pieces you need for your business to grow and earn money fast during the event.

On the first day of the event, we had sessions about the keys to success, implemented things right away in business, marketing and teaching workshops, and went through intensive training on how to teach guitar better.

"Having the time of my life over here!" - Erik, Hawaii, USA

"I can't describe how much value I have got from the events so far and how perfect this environment has been for me, exactly the path and community I have been looking for! - Amy, Australia

"I don't know what the hell would've happened to me and my business had I not attended this event. The Summit came at an unbelievably perfect time in my life and the life of my business."

 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 2

"The event is amazing! ... It's impossible to put into words how truly great this is!!!" - James, Michigan, USA

After a great evening of masterminding, we talked about how to become an expert guitar teacher using the Rotating Guitar Teaching Formats so that your students improve faster… and how teaching in this way IMMEDIATELY sets you apart from all other guitar teachers in your community. Guitar teachers from all over the world received intensive guitar teaching training, we talked about the best models to run your music school while only teaching part time, and did several marketing workshops. 

"So far the events were so awesome it's hard to even describe it. I've been to Guitar Teaching Super Summit in 2015, and I really didn't expect that it could be even better but it was. Looking forward to all the other events!" - Jure, Slovenia

"The quality of the people that attended this event were the best of any event I've ever attended. Being able to hang around with multiple six figure business people all day for several days rubs off on a person. That alone was priceless. The information presented was pure gold as well."
 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 3

---

"There was such a huge amount of information, on so many aspects of growing and sustaining a business...plus quite a bit on growing and sustaining a life :)" - Charles, Missouri, USA

Day 3 kicked off with a few sessions about the best guitar teaching methods and how to perfectly teach group classes that contain completely different people of ages, skill levels and styles within the SAME class while providing massive extra value for everyone so that your most advanced students are learning fast and are challenged appropriately while your least advanced students in the same class or not falling behind, lost or confused. In addition, we completed great marketing, email and call scripts so that they could be used right away to get new students. Some badass attendees put them to work while still being at the event - and successfully scheduled several introduction lessons upon their return). 

"Being at this year's events with my husband and my son is the ultimate in badassedry!! I'm so very proud of where we have come from last year - 3 students to six figures Canadian in only one year! Being here is like the jewel in my crown." - Sue, Canada

"The focus and concentrated energy toward a common goal, with like-minded people, was very powerful. The International flavor was cool: lots of different perspectives, yet sharing many common issues as well."
 

 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 4

---

"What an awesome experience!" - Daniel, Australia

Day 4 was dedicated to certification training on the Geometric Guitar Teaching Method® which is proven to be much more effective than the outdated traditional linear teaching method that most guitar teachers are still using now. We also discussed personal protection and financial strategies as well as effective management strategies that enable you and every teacher in your school to get on the path to massive growth. 

"The best part is that even after it will all be over, there is a lot to implement back home, and everything is written and waiting for me in the big fat-ass binder, which is my new bible now!" - Itay, Israel
 

 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 5

---

"Thank you Tom Hess and everyone for this amazing event!" - Billy, Maryland, USA

A big part of day 5 was about how to get your students to practice perfectly and consistently EVERY TIME! Imagine what just this one piece would do for your reputation as a guitar teacher if you only improved just this one thing and all your students started to practice perfectly and consistently every time! While our teachers and interns received more training on how to best teach guitar, music school owners went through another workshop on efficient scripts for maximizing results. 

"This is the greatest event and i enjoy every moment of it!" - Jacob, South Africa
 

 

Guitar Teaching Super Summit International - Day 6

"Guitar Teaching Super Summit was SO good. Massive amounts of gold." - Rhett, Texas, USA

On the final day of Guitar Teaching Super Summit International, we discussed what real leadership means and put things into action during another workshop. In addition, we talked about how to get great results quickly for your guitar students. Your students deserve rapid results and there are many strategies, tactics and tips to deliver those results. Next, everyone got the exact blueprint to crack the code to build the guitar teaching business and lifestyle you want. Finally, there was a big celebration of everyone's achievements during the past 6 days and each teacher received their unique and priceless certifications of guitar teaching expertise in the following: Geometric Guitar Teaching Method®, Rapid Results Guitar Training®, Dynamic Group Guitar Teaching®, Rotating Formats Guitar Teaching® and Perfect Practice Guitar Training®. 

"Guitar Teaching Super Summit was great in so many aspects! There was much knowledge, insight and strategies that were well presented, shared and discussed at length." - Art, New York, USA

Songwriting Mastery Lab - Day 1

---

"Thank you THMC! Very cool event :) I will definitely come again!" - Brad, California, USA

Right after Guitar Teaching Super Summit International, we got into this new event about making huge breakthroughs in your songwriting and creativity - even if you've never written a song before or think you don't have musical talent. Dr. Tommaso Zillio and Tom Hess talked about transforming raw musical ideas into killer songs and how to turn your brain into a song factory to write better songs immediately. We also shared better ways to approach the entire songwriting process to create ideas that are fresh, new and exciting. 

"The sound knowledge that Tomasso Zillio and Tom Hess have was evident in the very simplicity way they presented all the concepts making references to musicians, songs and music. Extremely valuable." 
 

Songwriting Mastery Lab - Day 2

---

"The first 2 days at my first event have been fantastic. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming , the songwriting event was really inspirational and I've heard fantastic jam sessions... I feel invigorated and inspired - I think this event is going to have a very big impact not just on my guitar playing but on my life in general." - Deborah, UK

We broke down some great songs and analyzed each element to determine exactly what makes them great. Doing this in this way makes it easy to see why these songs work the way they do, and gives invaluable insights into how we may use these same songwriting concepts in composing new music. We also introduced new ways to use familiar songwriting concepts in innovative & creative ways that is easy for any songwriter to understand once explained.

"You did an outstanding job with this event and I look forward to seeing how it evolves next time it is offered."

Fretboard Domination Bootcamp & Music Career Money Magnet - Day 1:

"Thanks to THMC and every one of you! The things I learned at these events from both the trainers and the members has certainly altered the trajectory of my business, musicianship, and personal life. Getting to know each of you better has been worth the cost of admission." - Eric, Pennsylvania, USA

Fretboard Domination Bootcamp solves one of the biggest problems in guitar players’ knowledge. Many guitar players never overcome this challenge, but WHEN they actually do, it has a massive effect on ALL areas of their guitar playing. In just 3 days, we learn how to banish one of the most crippling problems that stands in the way of creative guitar playing - lack of fretboard mastery.

"This was seriously a great event! I will never look at the fretboard in quite the same way again, not too mention the knowledge I can know impart on my students! Thank You :)"

"This was intense! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the content, the training, and the application! I came away a much better guitarist and would absolutely recommend this to someone else and would attend again!"
 

Music Career Money Magnet: Attendees of this very special event learned exactly how any touring band can earn a lot more money on tour (how much more? MASSIVE amounts more!) and even more importantly, how one can use these secrets to get into larger touring bands.

"It was really awesome. Thanks for all the great work you do."

On day 2 of Fretboard Domination Bootcamp, our 5 awesome trainers took attendees through an amazing transformation from being stuck to being able to see the guitar fretboard in totally new ways so that the ability to navigate the fretboard fluidly becomes much easier and faster.

"Insane amount of information, all of which is and will be very useful to me!"

At Music Career Money Magnet, professional touring musicians shared their success stories about how they used the ideas they learned at this event (when they were attendees 3 years ago) and what implementing the ideas for this event has done for their band, their music career and their income! It was great to see how much more successful these musicians have become as a direct result of attending this event!
