Upon logging in to Forte, you will be prompted to complete any one of these three steps if you have not already done so.
Step 1: Your profile
Students will search for teachers based on the instrument that they want to learn, so you need to have a separate profile for each instrument you teach. This also allows you to show varying credentials or teaching methods amongst the different instruments you teach.
To create a new instrument profile, click on Profile in the left-hand navigation menu and look for the “Add an Instrument” button.
Upload a professional photo or headshot.
Next, add a photo of yourself. Your profile picture is a chance to create a great first impression with prospective students. A professional headshot is best, but even if you are taking the photo yourself, follow these guidelines..
