If you have the training, offering music instruction can be an extremely satisfying as well as lucrative home-based business, as you get to share your love of music with others. Piano instruction is probably most common, but every instrument has its fans. You might also offer voice lessons.

Pros: The joy of teaching coupled with the pleasure of music.

Cons: Traffic to and from your home and the noise level of the lessons might bother your neighbours. You should certainly check with them first before starting such a business. If this is a problem, you could always give lessons in the clients' homes instead.

What You Need to Get Started With This Home Based Business Idea:

  • Training/certification needed to teach others how to play a particular instrument or instruments.
  • A "dedicated" room in your home where you can receive and teach clients.
  • Adequate parking for clients (that doesn't interfere with or annoy the neighbours).
