Details of the Minimusic Course:
Minimusic is a nine month music theory course for children ages 4-6. It is taught in preparation for learning the piano or any other musical instrument. Minimusic is a pre-reading music course and taught away from the piano in a group setting.
Minimusic is designed to teach in small groups of four to six students. It can easily be used in a larger class setting, but due to the age of the children involved, we suggest you have assistants help teach each lesson.

If you are a college student or stay at home mom with music background, this is an excellent way to earn extra income. For example: If you taught just one Minimusic class a week of five students and charged a monthly fee of $30 - $50 per student (depending on your area), you could expect to earn $150 - $300 a month working from your home for one hour a week.
It is completely possible for you to earn back your initial investment within the first two months. You are then free to enjoy your purchase of the Minimusic Program year after year with new students entering your classes each year.
