A few years ago I began a Patreon page. At first it was a way to provide some pop music arrangements appropriate for my students level (beginning to intermediate). It began with three tiers. The first is to listen only. The second is to listen and be able to download the sheet music. The third includes a video tutorial. There is a 50/50 split between ukulele and guitar. On some of the songs I sing (poorly) and the rest are for solo instruments. There is now a catalog of nearly 200 titles.
As time went on I added a “Free” tier and I occasionally drop recordings of more complicated songs just to listen to. And most recently I’ve begun to upload my arrangements of guitar in a chamber music setting. The sheet music is available for sale individually and the recordings are midi only at this time. For example I just uploaded a collection of 5 songs by renaissance lutenist John Dowland arranged for 3 guitars.
