It's hard to believe it already May! And it's also hard to believe that we've been apart for so long. Video lessons are not something that I ever expected to be doing, but I'm glad that we have this technology to keep us connected. I know that the time I have spent with my students online has helped me through this difficult time, and I'm sure many of them feel the same way.
Before I discuss May's lesson schedule, I wanted to let everyone know that I am available for lessons over the summer. My schedule will be fairly flexible, and I can accommodate your plans for vacations, etc. We can have a set time every week, or we can just schedule a lesson whenever it's convenient for you. I am going to try to keep my lessons to one or two days a week, but I will be glad to schedule on different days if that works best for you. The nice thing about doing video lessons this summer is that we don't have to work around when the school buildings are open. Please let me know if you plan on taking summer lessons, and I will be in touch to start setting that up later this month.
Right now, I plan to keep our current schedule through Thursday May 21 as that is the last day of school for most of you. If you are currently taking lessons, and have already told me otherwise, your invoice for May will reflect that. I WILL be available starting May 26 for lessons, but we will include those in the "Summer" category and will bill for those separately.
Good news for those that have been asking: we have signed up for Venmo and should be able to start accepting those payments in a few days. The last time we checked (which was years ago) we were not able to sign up for Venmo with our bank. Supposedly that restriction is no longer there, so we're giving it a shot. I will still accept payments from all of the usual sources, of course. If you have any questions about those, please check out my previous post about payments here. If you would like to use Venmo going forward, please let me know, and I will give you the needed information as soon as we have confirmed that it is working.
I hope everyone is doing well, and that you are staying happy, safe, and well in the exciting transition back to normal.
And, as always, thank you for letting me share my love of music and flute with your child!
