I started taking piano lessons from my mom when I was 6 years old. She taught me a love for music that I will always be grateful for. She also taught me that you can make money from a hobby you love and share that passion with others. From playing at weddings, performing background music at Nordstroms, and teaching neighborhood kids, the ability to play the piano has brought joy, games, laughter, and extra income to our family. Even if you aren’t a musician, you most likely have a talent that you’d enjoy teaching others that you can earn money with. You can have a basketball camp, teach hair braiding, chess lessons, art classes, etc. Share your passion and give others the opportunity to develop their talents.
