November News

Thank you so much for a great fall so far! I have really enjoyed meeting all of you and beginning lessons with everyone. I am almost completely fully booked with students, so I appreciate that every single one of you value music in your lives and in your children’s lives.

I do ask that you please bear with me as we go into the holidays! I know everyone’s schedule gets even busier this time of year, so please don’t let practicing and lessons slip through the cracks.

Reminder: We DO NOT have lessons Thursday November 25 through Sunday November 28. This is Thanksgiving Break and we will not have lessons. If you are going to be out of town that entire week, please make sure to let me know ahead of time, advance warning of a canceled lesson is always appreciated!

I would like to let all of you know that I am creating business hours Monday through Wednesday 10:00am-2:00pm. If you need to call me with advance notice of cancellations or need to speak with me for any reason, I would appreciate if you call during that time, as I cannot answer the phone during lessons. If you are calling to cancel a lesson on that day, please still do so and just leave a message. Any messages received during lesson hours I will return either by phone or email that evening after 8:00pm or the next morning. I would appreciate no incoming calls later than 8:00pm. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
