Piano lessons starts...

Dear students,

I am finally back to Santa Cruz. All refreshed and rested, and ready to start our new year of music learning. I'll call you in the next few days (if I didn't call you yet) to make schedule for the next couple weeks. In a mean time I'm working on our fall lesson's plan and will try to do my best accommodating everyone's needs and preferences. I hope you had your chance to rest and to get to miss piano playing. I very much look forward to start our lessons. Hope to see you all very soon.
Love,
Vlada
