The many benefits of music education have been well documented.
From increasing self-esteem to achieving higher cognitive skills and
better SAT scores, music learning is just as important in our schools as
any other subject. Yet schools continue to cut music and arts program
due to budget constraints. The good news is that this opens up a whole
new world of home based business opportunities for entrepreneurs to help
increase music literacy in their neighborhoods - or perhaps around the
world.
If you love music, a career in this field may be something to consider. Many musicians and music teachers have already left the 9-5 grind to start their own businesses. But you don't need to be musically trained to get started or be successful. You should however be willing to learn, and enjoy working with people, particularly children. The personal rewards of watching children (and adults) become musicians can equal the monetary rewards, if not exceed them.
Starting any home business is a major decision and not one to be taken lightly. You need to be prepared mentally, emotionally, and financially. Someone doesn't just walk away from their day job if they are not mature enough to make a commitment to work their business. Someone doesn't just walk away from their day jobs if they can't make the mortgage payment one month later. But once you are fully prepared to take the leap, there's no looking back. And if you become successful, that decision will be looked back upon fondly as a turning point in your life.
It is a good idea to start your business with baby steps - do it part-time until you feel you can take it to the next level. And if you discover that it is not for you, you still have your job to fall back on. Some businesses may not allow that (such as opening up a Pizzeria). But you do have more options when starting a work from home business. Of course, this point is moot if you are unemployed.
Explore your home based business options and decide if a career in the field of music education is for you. I encourage you to learn about its' wealth of benefits and rewards. Obviously, you would need to find an avenue that is best suited for you. Start the learning process, create your business plan, and go for it.
The homeschooling market has been a traditionally warm market for music education. This market has some leeway in their curriculum and is not held back by the constraints of the public school system, or affected by government cutbacks. Working within the special needs community is also another option. Fundraising is another excellent way to promote your home based music business.
Whether you decide to teach music, or get into direct selling or donation of musical products, you'll love what you are doing when you know that you are helping others achieve something that is important to them - even if they don't realize that just yet!
