Simple process

Start teaching in 3 easy steps

Getting started is quick and straightforward: about 20 minutes from account to a profile ready for review.

1

Create your profile

Tell us your instruments, add a photo and a short introduction, then set your hours and price. You can add a video and your qualifications at any time later.

2

We check your profile

Once your profile is complete we check it before it goes live, and email you the moment it is.

Start teaching

Once approved, your profile goes live and students can find and book you.

Why MusicStudio

Everything you need to teach successfully

The tools to run your online teaching in one place, so you can focus on what you do best: teaching.

You set your own schedule

Teach when it suits you. No minimum hours, no fixed timetable. Full flexibility around your life.

You set your own rates

Choose your lesson price and change it anytime. Keep the majority of every lesson fee you earn.

We market the platform to students

We handle the marketing, the search listing and the booking, so you can spend your time teaching rather than finding people to teach.

Built-in messaging & booking

Manage all your bookings, communicate with students, and handle scheduling in one place.

Integrated video lessons

Teach online using our purpose-built video classroom, with no downloads or extra software needed.

Be one of our founding teachers

MusicStudio is new, and we are welcoming our founding teachers now.

Our marketing to students is running in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. With only a few teachers per instrument so far, a new profile is seen, not buried on page 40. And you deal with us directly, by email.

Your earning potential

How much can you earn?

You set your own rate, so what you earn depends on your price, how many lessons you teach and how many students come back. We are a new platform, and the first teachers shape what it becomes.

  • You set your own lesson price, and you can change it at any time
  • Keep the majority of every lesson fee (see the commission question below)
  • Choose which hours you teach; block time off whenever you need it
  • Get paid twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th, through Stripe or by bank transfer
  • No exclusivity: teach here alongside your own students

What we look for in teachers

No formal teaching qualification is required, but we do look for passion, professionalism, and dedication to your students.

Instrument proficiency

Strong playing ability on the instrument(s) you wish to teach. You should be able to teach confidently at all levels up to the grades you specify.

Required

Introduction video

A short video (up to 2 minutes) introducing yourself and your teaching approach. This is often the first thing students see, so make it count.

Required

Professional photo

A clear, recent headshot photo. Students connect better with teachers who have a friendly, professional profile photo.

Required

Teaching qualifications

RIAM, ABRSM, Trinity, or other music teaching qualifications strengthen your profile and can justify higher rates.

Optional but valued

Tech requirements

A laptop or desktop computer, stable broadband connection, webcam, and microphone for conducting online lessons.
