I wish to get paid. I would most likely do it at home. It would be a basic course only. I have played since I was in fourth grade and I am now a senior in high school. I have made numerous honor groups in music.

Congratulations on your great success as a musician! As a business operator, you will to have all of the documents, certificates, and licenses that are required to establish and conduct a business in your state, county, and town/city. Since these can vary from location to location, I recommend that you talk to a private music teacher (preferably of another instrument) in your community about his/her business set up. You will also need to pay personal income taxes on the money you make so keeping records will be important.
