I don't think having a degree like this will be much of an advantage, and I doubt you'll be able to find work that puts it to use. The countries you look at will likely have music teachers that are indigenous to said countries. They want you for your face and English ability.
 Of course, being able to sing/play will probably come in handy in your kids' classes. |

| Koreans can be friendly if you just try to learn their language and talk to them but if you just get drunk in Itawon bars you won't only be loathed by Koreans but also by some of your fellow ex-pats. |

You should definitely check into it. If anything, you might make a bundle offering private lessons in Asia. Also, the music conservatories often employ FTs for applied music lessons as adjunct instructors.
Asians are very keen to study guitar, bowed stringed instruments, and piano. What's your expertise? They also like studying theory and composition (mostly pop-oriented). |

I have a BM in Performance (Violin). I'll surely see what I can find. Thanks.  |
