Teaching was never the hard part.

How students find you, and what happens after they do.

Leaflets, doors,and word of mouth.

I started teaching piano at sixteen and built it to fifteen students a week. I found every one of them by hand.

Then I opened a school in Bournemouth and got to twenty-five. That took a system — how you present yourself, how fast you reply, how you handle a booking. The system is the thing that scaled, not the hours.

LearnMusic is that system, turned into software.

It starts withone sentence.

A parent types what they are after. We read it as a brief and rank teachers on fit.

What she typed
“Piano for my daughter, she's a beginner, near Leeds.”

After the lesson

We don't growby taking more.

  • A good month costs you nothing extra

    The usual way to fund a marketplace is to take a share of the lesson — a share that grows every time you get better at your job. Ours does not.

  • Free accounts rank on merit

    Free accounts are ranked on merit. Optional paid visibility Boosts are coming soon and will add visibility. They will never be required to teach.

  • When it's us or you, it's you

    When a decision is good for our revenue and bad for your earnings, you win it. That is not generosity — it is the only version of this business worth running.

None of this hands you students. No platform can honestly promise that, and we do not — there is no guarantee of students, earnings or ranking. What it does is remove the reasons a student who found you decides not to book, and the reasons a student who booked you does not come back.

Your teacher profile, messaging, bookings and online lesson tools are free. There is no teacher subscription, no lead fee and no platform lesson cap. LearnMusic takes 0% commission from every teacher, forever. Students pay a 5% service fee on top of your paid lesson rate. Optional paid visibility Boosts are coming soon and are not required to teach.

Eligible new students can redeem one free online lesson. That promotional lesson is unpaid; later paid lessons use your chosen rate. Payments for paid lessons are collected through the platform and released after the lesson, subject to payment status, refunds and bank processing times. Payment-processing fees may apply; see teacher pricing for details.

Pricing was very transparent and the free tier was very generous I signed up as a teacher and I’m really happy with the pricing and how clear it was what they were offering and if I had to pay anything. There’s been tonnes of issues with other platforms but everything is very clear on learn-music so thank you !

First tutoring site that doesn’t rip people off ! I saw the Google ads, I gave it a go and I am quite surprised with how much detail you can add to your profile. So far I havnt spent anything but I have something I can share with my students and potential clients that builds trust and makes people feel confident about choosing me as a tutor. I know there are lots of sites that do this but this is one of the first where they’re not ripping everyone off for their service so thanks haha.

I came from Superprof as it was good for visibility however it didn't actually have anything specific for music teachers. I made the switch because this was clearly built to have stuff that i needed in the app. Thanks for putting it together and im happy that im here early.
