Guitar students and families:

Below are the dates and fee schedules for the Fall 2009 and Winter/Spring 2010 sessions. A few notes about lesson fees for this year:

The rates and policies for the 2009-2010 sessions have remained unchanged since last year. Once again I’m offering a 10% discount for students who pre-pay for an entire session and students paying on a monthly basis are required to pay for the following month’s lessons on the last lesson of each calendar month in order to reserve a lesson time for the coming month.

If you have any questions or concerning this information or guitar lessons in general, please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much for your continued patronage, I look forward working with you and assisting in your continued musical growth.

• Fees for lessons missed or canceled with less than 48 hours notice will not be rescheduled or refunded.

Friends,

As many of you know, I teach guitar courses each summer for National Guitar Workshop (NGW). Many of the courses that NGW is offering this Summer still have openings available and we’d like to spread the word about NGW and offer some incentive to prospective students in order to fill these classes. NGW is open to students of all ages and students may opt to earn college credit via the Hartford Conservatory.

If you know of anyone who might be interested attending National Guitar Workshop this year please have them contact me for more information and a $100 discount on their tuition.

This is not limited only to my Modern Acoustic course in Chicago but may be used toward any date or location. Along with professional teachers like myself, NGW offers opportunity to learn from some of the finest guitarists in world and this year will feature guest seminars from artists such as: Robben Ford, Paul, Gilbert, Buddy Guy, Herman Li (of Dragon Force!), Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, David Wilcox and many more. The campuses are located in Chicago IL, Purchase NY, McLean VA, Austin TX, and Los Angeles CA.
