Best platform for music teachersLessons + sheet music + recordings
Sell structured courses, book 1-on-1 lessons, host sheet music PDFs, collect student practice recordings — from one stack.
Why this matters
Music teachers need lesson resources + recording feedback loops
A lesson page isn't just a video — it's a video + sheet music PDF + backing track MP3 + tab file + a spot for the student to upload their practice for feedback. Generic course platforms ship the video and leave the rest to you.
What this page does

Pure marketplace credibility play (ArtistWorks): you trade ~40% for their brand. Solo brand-first teacher: keep 91%+ on Kourze. We say which fits each model.

Top features that matter
What actually moves the needle for music teachers
Per-lesson resource locker
Sheet music PDF + backing track MP3 + GP/tab file + reference video clip — all attached to one lesson page. Students download in their library, no email forwarding.
Student recording upload + time-stamp feedback
Student uploads their practice MP3 of week 4. You leave comments like 'at 0:42 your tempo drops, try metronome at 80bpm.' Massive retention lever — students feel coached, not just lectured at.
1-on-1 booking with auto Zoom link
Student picks a 30-min slot at $45, pays, gets Zoom link. You see it in your calendar. No Calendly + Stripe + manual link.
Cohort 'Master Your Style' programs
8-week blues / jazz / bossa cohorts at $397-$797. Weekly group Zoom, drip modules, group chat. Premium pricing because of accountability + your live time.
Video DRM so your lesson library doesn't leak
Mux signed playback expires per session + per-student watermark. Without DRM, your $397 program torrents in a week.
Pricing math
80 course buyers/mo at $97 + 30 students booking 4 lessons/mo at $45 — what you keep
ArtistWorks costs you ~$4,500/mo at this volume vs Kourze. Teachable + Calendly is similar cost but no native recording upload or community.
