The First Rhythm Time Franchise

I came across Rhythm Time ten years ago when I took my daughter to the very first class in the Midlands. We both loved the sessions very much and I was then very lucky to be given the opportunity to work as a Rhythm Time Teacher. My musical background was not vast, being a very mediocre piano player for my own pleasure and singing in choirs, but with the training and support offered to me, my confidence grew and I have never looked back. I now have my own franchise within Cheshire and North Staffordshire and currently run 89 classes per week with over 1,100 children attending and this is growing all the time.

My franchise began in January 2000 when we moved to Cheshire with my husband’s work. We didn’t know the area but it was the perfect opportunity to get out and discover it. Having every confidence in the quality of the Rhythm Time classes I knew it was simply a matter of hard work finding halls and advertising. As I had hoped, the classes sold themselves and other teachers were recruited and trained to help me expand my business.

I could never have previously imagined running my own business around the family, yet it works so well. Now the business has expanded to such a size, there is a lot of work involved but the rewards, both personal and financial, make it worthwhile.
