About MUSEDU

MUSEDU is a non-profit, non-party association. Our aim is to work towards widespread high-quality music education and to encourage active music making throughout Austria. MUSEDU’s members – professional musicians –  may use the association to present a variety of music lessons to the general public.

MUSEDU provides an online platform where professional musicians and music teachers may create their own profiles and present the types of music lessons they offer. This online platform allows interested students to search for suitable teachers free of charge and anonymously and to contact them directly.

We are happy to hear that you are interested in MUSEDU! Currently, we are busy setting up MUSEDU in Austria, but we are planning to extend our association to the entire German-speaking region. This will take some time, of course. Please send us an e-mail so that we can get back to you as soon as we are ready.

Music teachers/members with a university degree in the musical field (vocal / instrumental teaching, theory of music, etc.) can request verification by MUSEDU. If approved, they will be granted the blue checkmark (verified teacher).

Unfortunately not – for this purpose, there are already many other well-established platforms on the internet.

As a non-proft association we are always pleased of a financial token of appreciation. We accept donations via PayPal or as transfer to our bank account. You can find the bank details in the imprint.

We are happy to find co-operation partners in the music business who agree to provide special offers / discounts to our members. Please contact us to discuss this further.

We highly welcome any kind of support! Please send us an e-mail so that we can discuss possible future co-operation.

Thank you very much, we look forward to your proposal! Please contact us directly.

If you discover a profile that violates common standards, please report it to us by using the report profile button. We will check the profile and delete it, if we find it inappropriate.

About the membership – for professionals

You can easily become a member via our online registration form, provided that you are skilled to give music lessons at your intrument. If you have a university degree in the musical field, you may request verification to get the blue checkmark (verified teacher).

Login with your UID and password, upload your university degree or equivalent certificate and click on request verification. We will verify your profile based on your qualifications.

Your free membership starts on the day you register on our platform. It does not have an end date, but you can cancel it at any time by deleting your profile.

Your membership is free-of-charge. If you like our service, we‘d be happy about a donation via PayPal or bank transfer!

Each member can only have one profile. However, you can of course add all your instruments to this profile, so that students can find you easily using the search filter.

You may already register on our platform. Once you have finished your studies, remember to upload your certificate and request verification to get the blue checkmark (verified teacher).

As a professional musician, you may also register on our platform to find students. Members with a university degree in the musical field will be granted the blue checkmark (verified teacher) upon request.

Unfortunately not. The idea of MUSEDU is simply that freelance music teachers may present their music lessons in their individual personal profiles.

Please login with your UID and password to make any changes to your profile yourself. Should you have any technical problems, send us an e-mail at office@musedu.at.

You can cancel your membership at any time by deleting your profile.

We cannot advertise any of these directly on our MUSEDU platform. However, we are active on Twitter and will gladly promote your CDs, concerts or any other activities there! Just send us the information via e-mail – or contact us directly on Twitter.

About music lessons – for students and amateurs

You will find individual portraits of all teachers on our members search page. The search page allows you to search for a suitable teacher for your instrument, your preferred genre and other parameters. You may then contact him or her directly!

The exact amount charged per lesson depends on your teacher. The rates might differ and dependent on various factors (e.g. duration, location of the lesson etc.). MUSEDU does not interfere with the pricing policy of each teacher.

Each musician may define the actual price of their lessons based on various individual factors. In order to ensure a transparent comparison of the lesson prices, the amount stated by each musician will be converted to a standardised value based on a 50 minutes lesson. This will make it possible for potential students to compare the different rates on a common time base. Of course, a lesson which is shorter or longer than 50 minutes will then be cheaper or more expensive.

The appropriate duration of a music lesson should be discussed directly with your teacher. It can make sense to adapt the duration to the individual situation (e.g. children or adults, beginners or advanced students). Your teacher will be in a good position to adapt this to your specific needs. Consequently, the duration of a lesson may vary. MUSEDU will not interfere with this.

The location of the lesson should be discussed directly with your teacher. Some teachers will visit you at home, others will teach at their place. A lesson may also take place elsewhere, e.g. in a studio or practice room.
