There are going to be some changes in the autumn of 2022. Here are the main ones:

— lessons in Seattle will be on Tuesdays as usual and Friday is an all-Zoom day  

— lessons in Kirkland will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please note the change of day.
— lessons on Mercer Island on Thursdays are for island residento and are not for Zoom lessons. Any other teaching day can be a zoom lesson.

— Mercer Island is still tentative, but should start with the beginning of the school year at Mercer Island high school.

— Existing students will see lesson fees go up by $1.50 per half hour at the start of a school year. New students will pay the rate listed on my homepage.

— I am going to try to have recitals be in person this school year, pandemic permitting. Anyone who cannot make the recital date will need to submit a video recording that will be played at intermission in the live performances.

i’m looking forward to a more normal school year and to seeing everyone!

I got Covid on July 3. While I feel much better, I need to teach lessons online the week of July 11. after that week, there should be no chance of me spreading the virus to anyone in person and lessons can resume as normal

Winter recital recordings are due February 10. Here is the link to submit your recording.

A few guidelines:

--Dress nicely (a dress/casual shirt or sweater and slacks is good)

--Do several takes and choose the best one

--You may do separate takes for separate movements

--Show your face and torso on the video

--LISTEN TO THE RECORDING BEFORE SENDING IT--poor audio quality is very difficult for me to fix for the final cut.

Good luck and happy practicing!
