Who you would be working with
That is our vision. TopMusic is the place where independent music teachers worldwide teach more creatively, build sustainable studios and take confident action every day.
Founder Tim Topham has more than 20 years in education, teaching in the UK and Australia. His writing and training have been featured in American Music Teacher, EPTA Piano Professional and The Piano Teacher. He speaks at music teaching conferences internationally and holds an MBA, BMus and DipEd.
Your insights into the importance of vision in a music teacher's life, studio and business were both enlightening and inspiring. Your wealth of knowledge left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of listening.
The audience
They are progressive, motivated and committed to their craft. They are actively looking for what will work better next term, which is why they follow us and why a recommendation here carries weight.
I've benefited very much from belonging to TopMusicPro for more than two years. I've acquired so much good sheet music free each month. I also bought your book No Book Beginners and found it very helpful as well. You have wonderful, valuable resources. Thank you for all the help you've provided to me over the past two years. I'm a different kind of teacher because of you!
The numbers
These are filtered figures. Automated and data-centre traffic is excluded, so what you see here is the audience you can genuinely reach.
Podcast network
Sponsorship is available on either of our two shows. Each has its own host and its own take on music teaching. Most episodes are interviews and every one is made to stay relevant, so an episode published today is still being found and heard in a year or two. Your placement keeps working long after the campaign ends. Sponsors seeking maximum impact should consider the TopCast, as it's also broadcast on YouTube.

We had a great experience partnering with TopMusic in 2025. The podcast episodes turned out fantastic, and that alone felt incredibly valuable for us… overall we feel great about the impact and brand awareness.
The podcast sponsorship helped us reach a broader audience of music educators, providing valuable exposure as we launched new products. We truly appreciate the care and effort they put into making this partnership a success.
Every subscriber asked to be there. Two ways to reach them, depending on your budget and how much room your message needs.
The whole email is yours: links, images and text, to launch a product, promote an event or build awareness. Only one is available per quarter, so it never competes for attention.
A responsive leaderboard banner at the foot of the weekly newsletter. Book it by the month and run it for two months to bring the cost per email down.
Tim has a wonderful relationship with his audience, a perfect mix of professionalism and personality, and it's a pleasure to align our brand with his site.
Premium brand partnerships
Occasionally we invite a brand whose values line up with ours to work with us exclusively for two months, across the podcast, our emails and inside the membership itself. It suits a launch or a relaunch, where one ad read would not do the job.
A full episode focused on your brand, an upfront credit naming you as premium brand partner and up to four minutes of promotional time per show, split into two or three blocks.
A sponsored email to the whole list during the engagement, plus banner placement across the weekly emails.
A pre-recorded presentation to members, banner placement on the members-only email and full access for one person from your team to take part in the community. Not available any other way.
Because the run is long, the promotions have to stay fresh: a story told across two or three parts, interviews with people using your product, case studies or performances. We keep a short repeated ad and the rest is new each week. Our podcast team will help you plan it.
Partnerships are priced on application. Email us and we will build something around your launch.
Past sponsors and advertisers
Within one month I had over 40 countries using my app. Six weeks after my ads ran, over 900 music schools in 67 countries were using my platform.
