What about earnings?
We don't publish per-brand earnings figures — for My Music Workshop or anyone else. The only primary source is Item 19 of the brand's own franchise disclosure document (FDD), and no law requires a franchisor to publish one, so the "average owner income" numbers circulating elsewhere are usually unsourced or survivorship-biased. Ask My Music Workshop for its current FDD and read Item 19 yourself — and if there is no Item 19, that silence is information too.
What this data can't tell you
Everything on this page comes from disclosure filings — fees, ranges, and unit counts. Four questions that matter just as much are not in any filing we can source, so we say so instead of guessing:
- The hours and the labor
- No dataset field says whether My Music Workshop is a manage-from-a-laptop business or a 60-hour week in disguise. Item 15 of the FDD states whether you're obligated to run the business personally, and Item 11 lists what the franchisor actually does for you — then ask current owners what their week looks like (validation calls), not the sales team.
- How hands-on the ownership really is
- "Semi-absentee" is a pitch, not a filing field. Treat any hands-off claim as unverified until it's consistent with Item 15 and with what multiple current franchisees tell you — what absentee ownership actually means.
- Your territory — whether it's protected, and whether it's open
- Two territory questions sit outside our data. Whether My Music Workshop grants a protected or exclusive area is set in Item 12 of the FDD and varies brand to brand — some grant none, and the carve-outs (online sales, national accounts) matter as much as the map. And filing data can't say what's open in your market this month; only My Music Workshop can confirm current availability. Ask both before you inquire, and get the answer in writing.
- What owners earn
- Covered honestly above: our dataset has no earnings fields, the only primary source is the brand's own Item 19, and here is how to read that evidence.

From the franchisor's materials
We offer franchises for the establishment and operation of mobile businesses providing music instruction for children between the ages of two (2) and eight (8) years old in classes ranging from 30 to 45 minutes in length. You or your instructors will travel to child care facilities, Preschools, and Elementary Schools bringing the necessary equipment and instruments in a wagon that we prescribe to teach classes on-site at these locations. Franchisees are also able to conduct birthday parties and other similar, private events for children. In addition, the franchised business generally will perform all necessary administrative work (such as registering students for classes) so that this burden is not imposed on the facilities where classes are conducted. Certain child care centers may require you to pay commissions in order to use their facilities, typically measured as a percentage of the services fees that are paid to you by the students' guardians. You will be solely responsible for the negotiation and payment of any such fees that you encounter.
