  • Happy New Year – New term starts

    Piano Points

    I’d like to take this oppurtunity to wish all my students and readers a Happy New Year.

    Piano lessons resume this week from Wednesday (7th Jan), so those who have lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays will start again next week (12th and 13th Jan).

    I have found a new email newsletter service provider and if you are not already subscribed then just put your email address in the box at the top left hand side of the blog or on the front page of my main website.

    This year I have introduced a ‘piano points’ rewards policy to encourage practise. It will be explained at your next lesson or you can download a leaflet here or by clicking on the piano image.

    Watch out for the next edition of the podcast, which will be published in the next couple of weeks.

  • Email Newsletter – Temporarily suspended from 1st January, 2009

    Zookoda, the company who operate the free rss to email service which powers my newsletter, delivering it weekly to subscribers’ inboxes, has announced that they will no longer be able to run that service from 1st January, 2009. Unfortunately my newsletter will no longer be delivered every Saturday until I can find another service operator. I hope to be able to find one soon and transfer the current subscribers to the new service once it is up and running to reduce the amount of inconvenience to my readers.
