Get back to doing what you love

My name is Sam Vaughn, and I started Crescendo Arts Group. I work with the owners of music schools and dance studios by taking on the back-office burden of your schools. You get your evenings back.

Most owners started a school because they love to teach. Years later, many of them spend more time on invoices than on lessons. I would like to fix that.

Why I do this

I grew up competing nationally in piano. I won first place at the Alabama state MTNA competition every year from middle school through 10th grade. I moved to New Hampshire, and I took second place at the state competition there. I went on to study piano at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt.

I credit so much of my life to my piano teachers, who include Professor Kevin Chance, Professor Karen Ann Krieger, Mila Filatova, and Amy McClelland.

I can think of nothing more rewarding than returning the favor by helping teachers like them in my professional life.

What I take off your plate

What is Crescendo?

Crescendo is being built as a holding company of several different schools. I plan to continue the legacy of each individual school.

If we work together, your teachers stay, your students stay, and the school keeps the name and the culture you built.

My background

I am an MBA student at Stanford Graduate School of Business. You can find me on LinkedIn.
