Lots of musicians are successfully teaching music online, and you can, too. This LMScast shows you what to consider if you want to make an online music course. Your first step is to realize that you can do this. Then you can decide how.

There are more options online for teaching music than ever before. You can reach a worldwide audience using a passive course package, or arrange for active, live instruction through a service like Skype. All you really need to get started is internet access and the ability to teach.

You can start by putting together a low-cost music course package with video, audio, and printable PDFs for sheet music or other visuals. You create this once and sell it repeatedly. Live interactive training involves your time and participation, so you can charge accordingly for this extra value. Focusing on a niche is also a much better idea than being too general.

You do need decent quality sound and video, but it doesn’t have to be top studio quality. Your teaching style and methodology are your greatest assets. So consider this if you want to make an online music course: You’ll reach a global audience with few obstacles, on your terms.
