current updates

During Covid-19, we were able to develop ways to teach in-studio safely, with distancing for piano, cello and theory lessons, and air flow through the studio. As we return in September I'm expecting we will be able to go without masks if 'fully reopened workplaces and offices' are back in effect. I'm fully vaccinated now, and I'm expecting that all those who are being vaccinated will have had both their shots by September. You can always opt for us both to wear masks if you like; just let me know!

I've been impressed with how willing students have been to wear masks, and will now expect that anyone with sniffles or a cough will continue to do so. It's been so great with no colds or flu this winter! Keep in mind that online lessons will always be an option for you, and these new online skills we've learned will make it much easier when you or your child has a cold, or it's a snow day, or a car giving trouble. 

And kids who are too sick for school are also too sick for music lessons - so online it is, if they're up to it!  I'll be using my Zoom meeting number 511-965-0781: enter it, and you'll be in the Waiting Room. I'll join as soon as I can: if the previous student is in-studio, I may be a moment or two late because of changing formats and opening Zoom. I've sent the password to you by email. Text me if you forgot!         

Fees have gone up slightly from the last several years, and the total is payable 

• in full;
• in ten monthly cheques (postdated till June 1)
• by pre-authorised direct monthly payments

For specific amounts, please see the Lessons tab.

Voice lessons! Now available in studio or online Fridays, with my daughter Eve Daniell, who is living here again (during Covid) away from her performance career in the UK. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put you in touch -
