I am considering starting piano teaching in my home. I am 61 yrs old and was just laid off my job with the rest of the company because they re-located to a different state. I am very apprehensive about staring anything new because of the knowledge that I have trouble learning new things. Music is one of my first loves and has been a great comfort in my life. I have occasionally taught piano to students who have asked for lessons, but have never advertised.

One thing I need to know is information about setting up my own business. I haven't been able to find out what taxes, etc. would be required and where to go to get forms. It will be important for me to have all information to make my career choice. Pat Karlick
