[Highland Park] Private cello lessons
by KATHLEEN NAYLON-SCHULTZ 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

I am interested in recommendations for private cello lessons for my ten year old son. I am looking for a person who teaches during the summer. I have an excellent Suzuki music instructor who I plan on calling but more importantly, I am looking for someone who can teach my son to site read music and I am worried the Suzuki choice for us at the moment may not be best. I am aware of the Hope Academy but they do not have summer lessons. Thanks. ________________________________ From: "neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com" <neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com> To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Sent: Friday, June 1, 2012 12:00 PM Subject: Neighborhood Digest, Vol 104, Issue 7 ----- Forwarded Message ----- Send Neighborhood mailing list submissions to neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com You can reach the person managing the list at neighborhood-owner(a)highlandparkpa.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Neighborhood digest..."
