Nice to meet you!
I'm Sonya Ramsey
Pilates Enthusiast, Gadget Queen, & Founder of The Music Instructor Business Academy.
My journey here has not been a straight line—I actually got my start in 1991 as an Electrical Engineer! But with such a strong desire to make a difference, I quickly found myself in sales and then in online marketing.

My journey here has not been a straight line—I actually got my start in 1991 as an Electrical Engineer! But with such a strong desire to make a difference, I quickly found myself in sales and then in online marketing.
After a wellness issue briefly forced me to take a step back in 2017, I picked up my guitar again, rediscovered my love for music and realized there was a massive opportunity for musicians to do more online.
I set out to fill that gap, and since then have shown my clients how to leverage their talents into profitable, sustainable online businesses. As a result, these clients have achieved a financial stability most musicians can only dream of.
As my clients have created success, I’ve also created a reputation. A few affectionately call me Lieutenant because I don’t let them settle—I tell them the truth so they can get better.
That means they won’t flawlessly perform right out of the gate. It also means that when they put in the work, they’ll stand out online and get the results they’re looking for.
There’s a reason for this—I've seen more talented musicians than I could count get lost in all the noise of being online. They end up creating lots of content to try and appeal to everyone, and totally miss out on the opportunity to generate continuous, long-lasting income beyond the stage.
That’s where I come in.
No sugarcoating here: I’m focused on turning your goals into reality, I get straight to the point, and I’ll tell you exactly what you need to hear because I want you to be #1.
I care deeply about your success as if it were my very own. I don’t want you to be good, I want you to be the best. To make that happen, there is work involved. But with the right mentor, it doesn’t have to be difficult!
And with my engineering mindset that can break down any process with copy-and-paste systems, my life-long passion for simplifying everything with tech, and my love for sales, working together allows you to skip the endless trial and error of marketing your talents online.

Entrepreneurs all over the world choose me...
to help launch, grow or scale their online music instructor businesses for the same exact reason their students choose to work with a private instructor instead of learning everything on their own through YouTube:
To flatten the learning curve.
To get more effective results.
And to get those results quickly.
To get more effective results.
And to get those results quickly.
So let’s do this.
