ClickCoach

ClickCoach is a new nonprofit resource for classical, musical theatre, and jazz musicians to share knowledge and make money. Professional musicians upload videos on a variety of topics, including techique. tips and tricks, opinions, discussion of pieces, score errors, and more. The ClickCoach team curates these videos, which are then available to rent for $1.99 per 30 days.

75% of rental fees go directly to the artist, who also has the option to donate proceeds to an artist relief fund. Additionally, ClickCoach donates 1% of annual earnings to under-resourced communities, and also works with these communities to ensure that its resources are available to them.
