Hello there lovely parents and students,
I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I’m fully energized and very excited to embark on another great year of music study and exploration with all my students! Lessons resume tomorrow, Tuesday Sept. 7th, 2010. If you are not sure of your time slot, please contact me for confirmation. Below is a copy of my Studio Policies that contains my cancellation and payment information. Please take a moment to read it over to avoid confusion later on and do send along any questions or comments you may have.
Looking very forward to seeing all of you this week:)
