I think that teaching guitar would be the best job for me now. I would enjoy it and make good money. However, I wanted to know if I require any degrees or credentials to be a teacher. I'm 18 and I'm quite proficient at my instrument. Do I just put up ads or what? Also, would it be better to work in a music store instead?

Working on your own for teaching guitar doesn't require any certification. However working for yourself requires work as you have to create advertising for yourself and basically draw business to you and until you establish a client base cash flow isn't guaranteed where as if you did get a job in a music store you could at least guarantee a paycheck good business or bad. So its all just a matter of how much you want to take on.

I'm just a high school kid, so I'm not entirely sure, but in 7th grade my band teacher hired a college kid to come in and give tutoring lessons, so I think you're safe without a degree.

A critical ear and an encouraging tongue.
