Title: PROMISE: four half-hour violin, viola or music theory lessons
Post by: Beccles on November 24, 2006, 12:46:06 PM: How it works: you bid for this, highest bidder pays Ron, I provide lesson. Just like it were a cake or a wiggly waggler or whatever else. :innocent:

Give your cat something to sing along with!

Ideal starter-offer present for a small kid. Would cost at least £40 from a teacher of my experience normally.

Greater Manchester - instrument and music provided.

You can have your lesson at my house in Withington or I can travel to you, depending on access. If you come here you get a cup of tea (squash!) and a biscuit into the bargain :tea:

:thanks: Christine for the idea!

Hokay.

Winning bidder pays Ron. Just like if it was an actual physical item. I think. Does that make sense? :-:

Title: Re: PROMISE: four half-hour violin, viola or music theory lessons
Post by: Christine (Blip) on November 25, 2006, 11:27:47 AM: Rebecca, this may be a really daft question as I don't know what's involved, but would the music theory lessons be something that could be done as distance learning? Or would you have to be with the student to play him/her music? If it could be done remotely, I'll bid for it because I love music and am woefully ignorant in the theory department :-:

Post by: Beccles on November 25, 2006, 11:56:58 AM: I wouldn't be confident of doing a good enough job like that, Christine, but I'd certainly have a go if someone wanted me to!
Title: Re: PROMISE: four half-hour violin, viola or music theory lessons
Post by: Christine (Blip) on November 25, 2006, 17:35:22 PM: Well I reckon where there's a will, there's always a way so I'll start the bidding off at £10 :shy:

I'm bidding on the music theory lessons option. If you can explain why atonal music is worth listening to (and I'm fully prepared to accept that it must be) it'll be well worth quite a lot of money ;)

TOP BID AT END OF SATURDAY

Post by: Christine (Blip) on November 29, 2006, 15:36:29 PM: Of course, when I amalgamated my bids, I should have added the two together :doh: to be fair (this has only just occurred to me) so I'll up this to £30...
