Updates September 2010

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Hi there! Hope you are doing well. We are having a great 2nd semester so far with reports coming through of students doing some outstanding work. We’re proud of you all.
Here’s a look ahead at September…..(can you believe it’s here already?)

FIRSTLY A HUGE THANK YOU
New commitments and more admin work has had us make a few changes here at Guitar 1on1. There has recently been a shuffle of many of our students with new lesson times/days and for some, a new guitar teacher. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all who were able to shift as it has allowed us to continue providing everyone with great guitar lessons. It’s important that you know that you are valued and we here at Guitar 1on1, are committed to ensuring all our students continue to grow as musicians. Once again, a big thank you to those involved.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
A reminder that the September school holidays are September 18- October 3. As always, lessons continue as normal. However, should you wish to take a break from lessons during this period, please let me know. You will not be paying for your lesson spot through this period as they will be cancelled lessons. As it is business as normal for Guitar 1on1, (our holidays are in June and the Christmas period) we will expect that you will be here for your lessons if we don’t hear anything from you 
ONLINE LESSON HAVE YOUR SAY
It’s that time again for a new lesson to be posted on www.guitar1on1.com.au and I thought it would be great to get your input. It can be anything from finger exercises, techniques, riffs etc. If you have any ideas, please email me at info@guitar1on1.com.au

Thanks for your continued effort into making Guitar 1on1 a success!

FEES AND MAKEUP LESSONS
There’s been some confusion with Fees and makeup lessons. Should you have makeup lessons owed, these will of course be organized as soon as possible, however the due date on your fees, is not affected. Bear in mind, that due to the increasing number of students, priority makeups are given to students who are most outstanding, so please be patient.

NEW LESSON UP
There’s a new lesson up under the “Quick lessons” page on How to warm up. Check it out as this is an important lesson for any guitarist!

Thanks for continuing to make Guitar 1on1 great!
Happy playing

July 2010 Updates

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Hey there fellow guitarists! Hope you’ve had an excellent 1st half of 2010. We certainly have! Guitar 1on1 is currently on holidays and I’ve dropped in to give you the latest in what’s happening.

GUITAR 1on1 IS EXPANDING!
Guitar 1on1 currently has 30 students enrolled and we’ve expanded and brought in a new teacher. We welcome James Skelton who starts with us on July 15! :) He comes to us from the northern end of the Gold Coast to bring us his unique, fun filled lessons. Watch this space for his bio, pics etc. which I’ll be uploading in the next few weeks.
NEW FEE PRICES
As with the expansion and ever increase in expenses every week, we will be under new fees starting August 10 as follows
30 minute lessons- $25X4 $100
60 minute lessons-$50X4
$200
I have also introduced a FORTNIGHTLY payment option for all students who would prefer to pay their fees this way. So this means simply
30 minute lessons- $25×2=$50
60 minute lessons- $50×2=$100

We want to make you aware that we’ve kept the increase as minimal as possible but this small increase will help immensely in providing you with the best lessons we possibly can.
