Hi, I'm talking about the UK here but the idea probably transends national borders. Are there any qualifications/grades/etc that will give you more credibility if you want to advertise as a drum teacher?
I'm self taught and could easily teach beginners, but I'm imagining the parents thought process and guessing they'd go for someone that advertises as having X, Y and Z qualifications to their name.
Aside from the drum qualifications, would having a police background check to say I'm not a paedo help my cause? If someone's leaving their child with me I'm guessing they'd like to know I don't have a history of fiddleing with them.
Before anyone says it - I wouldn't be putting drum teacher ads online signed "Goreliscious"! I'm aware how that wouldn't help my wallet.
