Virtuoso Music Expands to Seattle

Virtuoso Music Expands to Seattle

ATLANTA, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Wyman, president and founder of Virtuoso Music(R) (http://www.virtuosomusic.com/), announced today that the company has signed two franchise agreements for the Seattle, Washington area.

"We are excited to expand our business to the West Coast," stated Wyman. "To see our franchise expanding across the country is a good indicator of the great need for our services. The Seattle market has a great mix of music talent and customer demand for music education, and we expect strong growth from our high-caliber franchisees."

"All across the country, cash-strapped schools have eliminated music programs, so children are missing out on private lessons," he added. "There are also many families who want lessons but can't find qualified instructors to accommodate their busy schedules. Virtuoso Music meets the growing demands of families and individuals who desire a meaningful music education experience, easy lesson scheduling and enthusiastic, hand-selected instructors."

Founded in 2004, Virtuoso Music provides full-service music education and community performance opportunities in most instruments throughout the metro areas it serves. Lessons and classes are conducted at students' homes, in schools, and at other locations. The company also offers recitals, festivals, musical bookings, community events and other music-related programs. According to Brent Elkins, Virtuoso Music's Seattle franchise owner, "The business has great potential for Seattle. Instructors appreciate our business as we help them do what they love to do, which is teach, while eliminating what many instructors dread, which is sales and marketing. Students and their parents appreciate the quality instruction and the convenience afforded by our offering lessons in the student's home, along with our engagement with the local music community."

"We have developed a very unique system that is unmatched in our industry," Wyman stated. "Our business provides much more than simple instructor matching, as many 'Internet companies' do without ever even meeting their teachers personally. We offer a full-service music learning experience beyond what's offered by other traditional options available to students today, run by franchisees who are committed to making a difference in their community."

After successful company launches in Atlanta and Houston, Virtuoso Music is now expanding nationwide through franchising. The company's franchisees promote and administer music instruction programs using proven systems and processes, including its proprietary Virtuoso Music System (VMS). The VMS permits franchisees to manage all aspects of their business using a comprehensive suite of technology designed to streamline the business' administration. Virtuoso Music franchisees operate within exclusive territories following a highly ethical, customer-first business model.

Virtuoso Music is a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA).
