Have a musical knowledge or can play an instrument, but got stuck in your musical career? You're not alone. Not everyone can be Coldplay, Justin Bieber, and not everyone can join the top orchestra. That's sometimes a very harsh truth learned in the hardest way. However, having a musical skill is still a very valuable expertise, and you can still use it to earn more than decent earning.

One of the available business to build around the musical industry is to be a music instructor. You can still enjoy your passion, all while having a higher than average earning and expansion potential.

Interested to turn your musical skills as a business?
Here are some things to help you get started.

---

1. Startup Cost
Starting as a mobile, private musical instructor will only need very little monetary investment. Provided you already got your instrument, and a decent transportation method, you can literally start with zero. If not, your main investment will go to the instrument itself, and instructional books (song list, theory books, etc) if necessary. You can start with $2,000, depending on your instrument of choice.

2. License, Permit, and Certification
If you plan to teach music at schools or universities, usually a BA in music or music education is required. However, if you have a solid musical background and experience, certification might not be necessary, but you will need to go through auditions. If you plan to go independent, contact your local authorities whether you'll need additional permits or licenses before you can engage with the job.

3. Marketing
As with any business when you need to market yourself, sometimes the biggest difference between success and failure is that courage for the very first step of letting yourself get known. As mentioned before, applying for a teacher position at schools and universities is definitely a viable option. If you plan to stay independent, internet marketing will be the way to go, considering your target market will be mostly young,tech-savvy individuals. Making a high-quality video that showcase your skills will be one of the most effective ways to market yourself.

Online teaching venture is also a promising industry nowadays. You simply create an online module complete with tutorial videos, and you can sell it. Many platforms for this kind of venture are available, such as Fiverr, Udemy, etc. Many instructors built an established online business using this business model, so this is definitely a viable option. Research the platforms for current market condition and competition so you can look for opportunities.

4. Expansion
Once you get an established client base, you can expand to open a small scale music institute, partnering up with other music teachers. This will dramatically increase your hourly earning potential as well as your marketability.

Earning Potential

The U.S. National median for music instructor is $48,000 annually, a very healthy number higher than the average across all industries. Being an independent instructor, you have the potential to have more students in a single day, increasing your average potential earning. The top independent musical instructor can make more than $75,000 annually.
