Music School Dropout

For Christmas 2006, Santa brought my girls a keyboard in the hope that they would start taking music/"piano" lessons. On the recommendation of my friend Hope, we signed up with a local piano teacher, Svetlana, although Hope warned me that Svetlana could be "difficult." Starting in February 2007, Svetlana started coming to our home on Monday afternoons after school. The girls had a couple of lessons...they loved playing the piano and making music, but then it came time for vacation. "You take one vacation per year," Svetlana insisted in broken English. "No," I said, "more like one vacation per month, especially if you count all of the holidays that fall on Monday." "I don't come to your house anymore." Damn. Maybe it's time to give Amadeus Home Music School a try.
