Well I missed the class presentation about money so I was told to add some questions I might have about money. Here they are:
1. What can I write off for taxes as a musician?
2. How much do I charge for lessons?
I'm positive I have more questions, but I can't think of any others at the moment. I'm sure as I go through life I'll probably have many more questions.
Check the list on page 28 in the CaLM book as a place to start for deductions. As for what to charge for lessons, start asking around--people you know who teach, families you might know who have kids in lessons. Call up some music stores, schools, studios and just ask what they charge. Charge appropriately for your level of experience and the market you're working in. Good luck launching this!
