Here is how the lights stay on.
MIDDERMUSIC is free to read, and we pay for it through advertising and affiliate links. This page explains how those links work, where they appear and what they mean for you.
What an affiliate link is
Some links on MIDDERMUSIC are affiliate links, which means a partner tracks the visits they send. If you click one and then buy something or sign up, the seller may pay us a commission.
You pay the same price whether you use our link or go to the seller directly.
We earn nothing from a click alone, and we never see your payment details.
Where you will find them
Affiliate links appear mainly in our reviews of online music lessons and our gear guides. They can also appear in news and features when we mention a product.
No surprises: every page that contains affiliate links shows a short disclosure near the top, before the first link.
The line reads: “MIDDERMUSIC may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page.”
How to spot an affiliate link
Our affiliate links sit on middermusic.com pages and send you on to the seller when you click. Each one is tagged rel=”sponsored nofollow” in the page code, which tells search engines that it is a commercial link.
The short disclosure near the top of a page tells you that the page contains these links.

How this affects what we recommend
Short answer: it does not.
Our scoring guide explains how we rate the products we cover.
Affiliate commissions do not influence what we cover, which products appear in our guides, how they rank or what score they get. Companies cannot pay for a place in a guide or a better score.
Advertising
MIDDERMUSIC also shows display ads on its pages, served by Mediavine. Advertisers do not see articles before publication and have no say in coverage.
