Technology has opened many new avenues to earn online, and teaching online music is one of them. One of the most amazing facts about online teaching is that you don't need a formal qualification to teach anyone. However, having proper knowledge about music is essential. Many people have degrees and all the knowledge about the musical field but don't know how to start teaching online. Here in this article, we have enlisted the four main steps to start online teaching:
What you want to teach- The first step you have to do is finalize the topics you want to teach. If you have mastered any instrument and know everything related to singing, it is a plus point for you. Many adults are in search of an excellent online music teacher. Some want to learn an instrument, and some want to book a singing class for their kids. So if you can cover both those things, it is good for you.
Prepare your teaching space- A music studio is common for people who have a career in the music field, but not having one is also acceptable. You need a private physical space. It can be a corner space in your home. All you want is a place where you can sit and record the lessons without any distraction. You can easily record the lessons if you have your studio. If you don't have one, pick a corner in your bedroom, clean it, put a black backdrop on it, and you are ready with your teaching space.
Assemble your equipment: During the lockdown, we all have taken online meetings and classes and know the common difficulties one has to face, like network issues, audio issues, poor video quality, etc. So, keeping all these things in mind, you must research the right equipment and assemble it in your studio or teaching space. You will need equipment, such as a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop or a computer; a tripod or a table stand; a good wifi connection; a subscription to an excellent live video conference app; a webcam if you use a computer; headphones; and a mic and mic stand. Buying all these things can be a lot for a beginner, but you can buy affordable brands with excellent quality equipment.
Promote your music lessons- The most important thing you have to do is promote your music lessons. And for that, first, you have to create your ID on online platforms. Create a website, an Instagram page, a YouTube channel, a Facebook page, etc., and post your work there. Mention the lessons you can teach in your online class, such as song writing lessons, piano lessons, singing lessons, guitar lessons, violin lessons, etc. You can provide free samples of the chosen lessons in PDFs or recorded videos. If the viewer likes your way of teaching, they will book the class. You need discipline, regularity, and passion, and you can very easily establish yourself as a good online music teacher.
