Like playing instruments? Try playing the Keyboard!

Here is what I have in mind for my summer job. Teaching keyboard. But before I can be sure on that, I need to go over many questions and obstacles to see if my business is worth it, and if I will gain any money by the end of summer.
Saying that I am a professional at playing keyboard is very broad, and would be considered a lie. But I can however say that I have certain skills that may be very helpful when teaching others. I have been playing keyboard since I was 9 years old. I attended various keyboard classes, but was never quit satisfied with the teaching skills. I then stooped attending the classes, and basically gave up. I stopped playing for about a year, but then was interested again when I learned that my cousin had attended classes when he was young, and had received various certificates. What I then did was ask my cousin if he could tutor me. He graciously agreed to teach me three days a week for as long as I wanted to. I started from scratch, bought new books, and started learning. My cousin tutored me for three years. Then I started becoming more familiar with everything, and no longer needed his help. I still get playing tips from my cousin every so often[because he now attends university and has limited time on his hands], but I think that I would be capable of teaching others my skills. Of course, I have to take into consideration that teaching all ages may not be a good idea, since I may not have the skills that some people require.
So in order for my business to expand and be successful, I have decided that I will be teaching grade two to five.
I don't want to say too much, considering this is a business I will hopefully be successful in, and don't want competition! =P
So that's all for now.
Bye.
