Today, we're sharing some important news regarding changes to our membership pricing for new members. Before diving into the details, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and enthusiasm for what we do at Pickup Music.
It's because of you that we've been able to grow and create some of the world's best online music lessons.
Over the past few years, Pickup Music has significantly expanded the value we provide our members.
Here are some of the major updates:
Expanded our guitar library with dozens of new classes
Introduced piano and bass lessons, with drums on the way
Built an entirely new learning platform and launched our iOS app
Added 1-on-1 video feedback from our coaches
Introduced new practice tools to help members stay consistent
Expanded our weekly live lessons, competitions, and community events.
And we're only getting started.
What's changing?
From November 24, 2026 we're increasing the price of Pickup Music for new members.
Our new prices will be:
Monthly: $39.99/month
Annual: $239/year
The annual plan works out to less than $20/month.
This new structure aligns with our long-term vision to inspire and support lifelong learning. That’s why we’ve structured our pricing to allow you to save 50% when you commit to an annual plan instead of paying monthly for twelve months.
What about existing members?
Here's the good news: if you're already a member, your price isn't changing.
You'll continue paying your current rate for as long as you remain subscribed, even as we continue adding new lessons, instruments, and features.
We've always believed in rewarding the members who've supported us along the way, and we're sticking to that promise.
Just remember, if you cancel and your membership expires, you'll lose your existing price. If you decide to return later, the new pricing will apply.
What's next?
We've got a huge amount planned for the year ahead, including more guitar, piano, and bass classes, new practice features, and the launch of drum lessons.
With these changes, we're reaffirming our commitment to investing in providing you with the best possible learning experience.
I’m thankful for every member, every partner artist, and every team member for believing that, together, we can create the future of learning music. We're excited about what's ahead.
Best,
Sam Blakelock
Cofounder, Pickup Music
