A local music destination
An academy, a shop and a place for a community to make music.
Not just a teaching licence
Good teaching is the beginning. A great academy needs a business behind it.
Running a music academy means more than teaching well. It takes the right premises, pricing, marketing, recruitment, finance, technology and everyday management. Bliss Franchise brings those moving parts into one business model.
DeRosa combines instrumental and vocal tuition with band sessions, instrument sales, rentals and repairs. Partners build locally, with the DeRosa brand and agreed support framework behind them.

A partner's journey
Experience from an existing academy owner.
Mark became DeRosa Music’s first business partner in Crayford after already running his own music academy. He partnered with DeRosa to make changes to his business within the franchise network.
This is one real example of an existing academy joining the network; results will differ between businesses.
