A clear, specific headline helps the right students find you and boosts profile clicks and bookings.
10 Practical Tips
-
Lead with a benefit
Focus on the outcome students want (confidence, speed, creativity, fun).
Example: "Beginner-friendly piano coach—play your first song fast.”
-
Be specific (instrument · genre · level)
Narrow beats vague. State exactly what you teach and to whom.
Example: "Jazz sax lessons for returning adults.”
-
Name your audience
Kids, teens, adult beginners, audition prep, producers—say it plainly.
Example: "Guitar for absolute beginners (ages 8–12).”
-
Show one unique edge
Method, background, or approach (patient, structured, ear-training focus, etc.).
Example: "Classical violin with easy sight-reading systems.”
-
Use relevant keywords
Include the terms students will search (instrument, style, "beginner,” "online,” "exam”).
Example: "ABRSM piano teacher · exam prep & theory.”
-
Keep it short & scannable
Aim for a concise line students can grasp at a glance. Trim filler words.
-
Be honest & verifiable
Avoid inflated claims. Only include numbers or credentials you can back up.
Example: "B.Mus, 7+ yrs teaching—friendly, structured lessons.”
-
Match your tone to your brand
Warm and encouraging, or focused and goal-oriented—just be consistent.
-
Avoid off-platform calls
Do not add emails, websites, or social handles in the headline (violates policy).
-
Test & iterate
Refresh your headline if views aren’t converting. Try a clearer audience or outcome.
