PT Teaching Gig

Rebecca, our very popular and talented voice/piano instructor here at the Half Note, has just gone on maternity leave! I love it, wish them both a healthy journey and can’t wait to see early photos of her little ‘eighth note.’

As she turns her attention to her new baby, she’s got about a dozen more charges (students) here at the school needing someone to keep them on their music until she returns to the school.

If you know of someone with private teaching experience interested in some part-time work teaching piano and/or voice, please send them our direction. Our current staff is already quite busy, (Great!) so we could use some reinforcements. We don’t expect things to slow down here so this could optionally be more than a temporary gig.

A Christmas miracle!

I went in to the school today to maybe catch a walk in customer. I got something better. These two guys from a local Church stopped by to spread musical joy. At the site of the guitar, I grab mine and a spontaneous Christmas jam ensued! Joy to you and yours!
