Founding economics
The year you keep.
On a platform taking 20% commission, this year of teaching costs you £7,015. As a founding teacher here, you keep all of it.

One of the first teachers here spent years running a music school the hard way — website fees, invoice chasing, and messaging every group chat for a single enquiry. The same school now fills 30–40 lessons a month from one page.

Why do music teachers choose LearnMusic?
As of August 2026, music teachers choose LearnMusic because the first 1,000 founding teachers pay 0% platform commission on lesson bookings, every teacher sets their own hourly rates, and bookings, payments, and online video lessons are handled in one place — while students search by instrument, location, and budget.
How much does it cost to teach on LearnMusic?
As of August 2026, the first 1,000 founding teachers pay 0% LearnMusic platform commission on lesson bookings, and every cost — lesson commission, Teacher Pro, and optional add-ons — is shown on the teacher pricing page before activation.
How do I get students?
Students search LearnMusic by instrument, location, lesson mode, and budget, so your profile surfaces in searches for your instruments and city as well as on the online lessons pages. Enquiries, messaging, and bookings then all happen on the platform.
Do I need a DBS check?
Identity and background checks are reviewed as part of going live, and completed checks appear as trust badges on your public profile once verified. If you do not yet hold a DBS certificate, UK DBS guidance is available at gov.uk.
