Winter Term - New Schedule, Rates, New Year!

Welcome Winter Term!


I hope you had a wonderful Holiday!  I'm ready to get back to teaching - I miss my students and the music!

Winter term, as usual will be focused on theory, notereading, etc. But don't worry, I will try to make it fun! And of course, if you want to start a cool new piece, let me know!

I've ridden Amtrak to and from Salem, seeking a new home and it is smooth sailing! So I don't think I'll have any problems coming to teach you all in your homes. Should be fun!

I hope I mentioned to all of you, that I will only be teaching 2 times a month for private students, so that I can fit you all in and see how it works with my travel system.


I originally stated I would only be taking tuition per lesson, because I was worried about missing lessons with the train. But I've done some research, and
the train from Salem doesn't seem to have problems with being late.  

So prepaying is an option (I've given you a discount).  It will also help me, because I still have some expenses for my move to cover.  

Prepay for the month:  (2 lessons) $45 - One Student
                                                         $90 - Two Students

Prepay for the term:  (6 lessons) $140 - One Student
                                                      $275 - Two Students

Winter Term goes from January 6 to March 22, 2014.

If this is a hardship for anyone, please let me know!

Thank you!
