Summary: Today, I’m going to introduce you to a musician who makes six-figures teaching music online. But there’s more to this story than meets the eye. And I’m always skeptical of stuff that sounds “get rich quick”, especially online. It’s a lot of hard work.<br> That said…<br> Everyday creative people are told that music is risky. In a world of starving artists, we need a backup plan. Tragically, many creatives are told a degree from an art or music school is the solution.<br> After investing years of their life and thousands of dollars, they finally graduate and learn the truth:<br> A music “degree” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on (with rare exception).<br> That’s where today’s guest comes in.<br> After graduating from college and unable to make ends meet, Brent Vaartstra started his own music business. Without a clue, he crafted new and exciting ways to increase is income as a musician. Brent now earns six-figures teaching music online at <a href="http://learnjazzstandards.com">learnjazzstandards.com</a>.<br> In today’s episode, Brent is going to tell us how he does it. If you’re looking for ways to earn additional income teaching music, you’re going to love this episode.
