biggrin.gif Ok, heres the deal
Im currently rushing through my Grade 6 piano, But skipping to Grade 8 after the exam. Because im finding it quite easy really (only thing thats slowing me down is theory, I'll be finding out theory results in a few weeks!!)
And Ive had about 3 teachers in my time, I had one Piano teacher that only taught up to Grade 6 piano, because she didnt have a diploma, and Ive got friends that do the same, they teach people purely for pleasure, or up to grade 6. Im thinking about doing the same, As It would gain experience for My diploma etc, as Im thinking about Piano teaching as a carerr. Ive had a few people asking me to teach them aswell.
Do any Of you, teach? with or without a diploma? Are you actually aloud to teach for pleasure or up to Grade 6?

Im a new member to this fourm by the way!!!! please reply or something!!
BYEEE

Hi Anna, I don't know sorry... I'm sure somebody will though. But just wanted to say hi tongue.gif

Hiya I don't know this for definite but I think you can teach no matter what your qualifications. If you haven't got the teaching diploma, obviously you would only be able to teach privately, but you would just have to explain the situation to your pupils. Teaching would probably help you work towards your diploma. Post a message on the teachers message board and find out.

Good luck
