Re: [Harp-L] newbie questions

Dear Bruce,
Glad to hear you are having fun with harmonica!  Although I live in
Austin, TX, I have many students all around the country.  I teach by
phone (I place the call) or by webcam thru a program called Skype
which is free to download.  A good webcam can be purchased for around
$50.  Although this method may seem unconventional, I have many
students I can send you to for a referral.  Also I have testimonials
on my website as well as a page dedicated to lesson information.

Lessons are $40 per hour.   You can pay by mail or by paypal, even if
you do not  have a paypal account.   I teach Monday thru Friday.  My
earliest lesson is 9am Central Standard Time and my latest begins at
7:30pm.

Here is this week's availability:

Thursday September 3rd
9am to 9:30am starting time range
6:15pm to 7:30pm starting time range

Friday and Monday booked solid

Tuesday 8th
12:30 to 1:30pm starting time range
5:15pm

Wednesday 9th
9am to 1:45pm starting time range
4:15pm
6:45pm

Thursday 10th
9am to 1:45pm starting time range
4:15pm to 5:30pm starting time range

Friday 11th
9am to 5:15pm starting time range
7:15pm

Lessons availability is subject to change.  Many of my students coming
later this week will grab the same time next week.

Will one of those times work for you?

Please feel free to call me to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Michael Rubin
