🎵 A Note on Site Funding: Keeping Our Music Lessons Free 🎼

Maintaining Quality While Staying Free

We started this journey with a single, clear mission: to provide completely free, high-quality music lessons to anyone who needs or wants them, entirely free of frustrating advertisements. This goal is at the very core of what we do, and we are incredibly proud to have offered this resource to our growing community.

The Reality of Running a Platform

While our content is free, the reality of running a website and creating educational resources is that it comes with costs. These costs include, but aren't limited to:

• Hosting and Domain Fees: Keeping the site live and accessible 24/7.
• Content Creation Tools: Software and equipment needed to produce high-quality video and written lessons.
• Maintenance: Technical support and updates to ensure a smooth user experience.

Up to this point, I have personally covered all expenses to keep this resource available. I believe strongly in the value of accessible music education and have been happy to invest in this community.

🙏 A Temporary Change: Turning to Ads

To date, we haven't received any community donations. As the site grows, the costs associated with maintaining its quality and expansion are also increasing.

To ensure the long-term viability of the site and continue bringing you the best possible lessons, I'm making a temporary, but necessary, change:

I am reluctantly turning to minimal, non-intrusive advertising to help subsidize the site's operating costs and the assistance I receive in creating the lessons.

This is a step I hoped to avoid, but it is a measure necessary to sustain the platform and keep the core content 100% free for all users.

🤝 Your Support Makes a Difference

My sincere hope is that this change is only temporary. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us move closer to our goal of becoming completely ad-free once again.

If you value the free lessons we provide and would like to help us remove ads sooner, please consider supporting the site through a donation.

• Support the Mission: Your contributions go directly towards site maintenance and content production, allowing us to keep lessons free.

Thank you for your understanding and for being a part of this incredible learning community. We are committed to making music education accessible to everyone.
