Workshop Planning Template

This guide helps music store owners plan educational workshops by outlining lessons, preparing materials, and gathering attendee feedback. A thoughtful, well-organized workshop keeps participants engaged and supports meaningful learning.

‍

Step 1: Decide on the Workshop Topic

What to Do: Choose a topic that your audience will enjoy and learn from.

  • Examples:
    • How to Tune a Guitar
    • Beginner Piano Basics
    • Recording Music at Home

How to Do It: Think about your audience’s interests and what skills they want to build. Talk to customers or students to find out what they’d like to learn.

Why It Works: Picking the right topic makes sure people are excited to attend.

‍

Step 2: Create a Curriculum Outline

What to Do: Plan what you will teach during the workshop.

  • Break the lesson into small sections.
  • Start with an introduction to the topic.
  • Include hands-on activities or demonstrations.
  • End with a review and time for questions.

How to Do It: Write your outline on paper or use a digital tool. 

For example:

  1. Welcome and Introductions (10 minutes)
  2. Lesson: How to Tune a Guitar (20 minutes)
  3. Hands-On Practice (20 minutes)
  4. Q&A and Wrap-Up (10 minutes)

Why It Works: A clear outline keeps you on track and makes the workshop easy to follow.

‍

Step 3: Make a Materials List

What to Do: Write down everything you need for the workshop.

  • Examples:
    • Instruments (guitar, keyboard, etc.)
    • Handouts or worksheets
    • Tools (tuners, music stands)
    • Refreshments (water, snacks)

How to Do It: Go through your curriculum and list the materials needed for each part of the lesson.

Why It Works: Having the right materials ready makes your workshop run smoothly.

‍

Step 4: Promote Your Workshop

What to Do: Let people know about your workshop.

  • Share details on social media.
  • Send emails to customers or students.
  • Put up flyers in your store or community.

How to Do It: Include the topic, date, time, location, and any costs in your promotions. Example:

“Join our free workshop: How to Tune a Guitar! Saturday at 2 PM at [Your Store Name]. Bring your guitar and learn from the pros!”

Why It Works: Good promotion brings more attendees to your workshop.

‍

Step 5: Prepare Feedback Forms

What to Do: Create a simple form to collect feedback from attendees.

  • Ask questions like:
    • What did you enjoy most about the workshop?
    • What could we do better?
    • What other topics would you like to learn about?

How to Do It: Use paper forms or an online survey tool like Google Forms.

Why It Works: Feedback helps you improve future workshops and understand what your audience wants.

‍

Step 6: Workshop Day Checklist

What to Do: Make sure everything is ready for the big day.

  • Set up the venue (e.g., chairs, tables, equipment).
  • Test all tools and materials.
  • Welcome attendees and start on time.
  • Follow your curriculum outline.
  • Hand out feedback forms at the end.

How to Do It: Arrive early to set up and have a checklist to stay organized.

Why It Works: Being prepared helps the workshop go smoothly and keeps attendees happy.

‍

Next Steps
  • Follow Up: Thank attendees for coming and share any additional resources.
  • Review Feedback: Look at the feedback forms to find ways to improve.
  • Plan Your Next Workshop: Use what you learned to make your next event even better.

By using this template, you’ll host a workshop that’s fun, educational, and well-organized!
