The money is good. At least £40/$70 per hour rate, you can charge. Join a music teacher association that might be connected to colleges, etc, then they can refer you. The recession, less ppl spending on musical education.
You need the skills:
- Reading/Writing drum notation, charts.
- Stroke method
- Methodology
Then your knowledge about playing beats/rhythms, philosophies, all the passionate stuff.
The methodology might be defined as your way of teaching. Shall I start the student off learning just snare drum rudiments? Shall I throw in some rhtyhms and fills for fun to keep them interested? A syllabus?
You also need to have some kind of connection with your student.
I think anyone one with experience can be a good drum teacher. Your accreditations and industrial experience, will put you in good stead particularly if you want to be an educator (lectures, clinics.) An accreditation might not be official, but something like being an ex-student of a highly respected teacher/educator will gain respect and recommendation. Even at the teacher level. Students will recommend you to others
