Hot Week Lessons 6/30-7/3

Updated 7/1 11:20am

Howdy!  I hope everyone is enjoying the World Cup and preparing to support our USA squad as they take on the Belgians on Tuesday. Please refrain from enjoying waffles until then.

For this coming week I am only able to guarantee entry into Indian Springs MS for lessons this week, except for Tuesday morning at KHS. This is the annual KISD lockdown week and I've made arrangements to be able to get into ISMS. There is a drumset and plenty of percussion equipment there for us to use so there should be no issues for space or instruments. This also means that there my not be any AC on at these campuses. It's not too bad in there but I will bring a fan for us to keep cool if necessary. I'd suggest wearing cool clothing to help just in case.

If I have your child down for a slot that does not work, please let me know ASAP so I can get things worked out.

Lastly, this is the first lesson of the month/cycle for most students. I'm asking families to pay for four weeks (not months!) of lessons in advance from now on, even if your child will be away for one week. That brings the total to either $120, $100, or $68 depending on the length of lessons. If there are any questions, please ask me before our lesson time to get things worked out, preferably via email or text the day before.

Thank you again for participating in summer with me! I'm having a blast and I hope your child is, too!

Lessons for 6/23-6/26

Hello! I'm changing things up a bit this week because there are many families asking me if we can meet late afternoon or evening once this week to help out with camps, classes, etc. I will be teaching one evening this week to help with those families. I'm trying to be consistent with most requests, so if any slots here no longer work for you this week PLEASE let me know so I can update this week's schedule. I left a lot of slots empty because the week is pretty different from last week, so you'll need to respond with some preferred times if any work. If none of my available times do work for you, let me know and I'll try to move things to fit your child in. Also, I will be at KMS on Tuesday. There is a KHS marching band activity that will take up a lot of space so it'll be easier for us to just be at the KMS band hall. This is a great opportunity for incoming KMS 7th graders to get familiar with their future surroundings!

As always, my scheduling priorities are for KHS students first, then students who took lessons with me during the year, then everyone else. Thank you so much for continuing summer lessons for your child. I hope he or she is learning, improving, and most of all, having fun!

Lessons for 6/16-6/19

My availability for this coming week's lessons is different but not necessarily less. I'm a single dad this week as my wife is out of town teaching at SFASU's band camp. If the arrangements I've made for Monday and Thursday for my daughter change I will let you know ASAP.

I've mostly copied-and-pasted last week's schedule for the same days, in the same times. Last Monday's students, please see if Tuesday times can work for you. This schedule will change throughout the day and weekend as I receive emails. If your child is on this schedule but you need to change it, please let me know. Let me know if your child is not going to be here this week so I may update it. If you do not see a time that will work for you, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Wish me luck as I try to be Mom and Dad for Carmen this week!

Also, Monday students: If my Spurs win tomorrow night, be prepared for my ever-present smile and general giddiness. Fair warning.

Summer Lessons! Week of 6/9-6/12

UPDATED 6/12 5:30pm

Happy Summer! I've been assigned to be your child's lesson teacher for the summer, lucky you!

I know everyone has been enjoying this first weekend of summer, and you're probably not quite ready to get the little ones out of the house just yet, right?  Well, you can give them a break from Doritos fingers and XBox cramps each week with lessons!

This summer will be similar to last year, in that I'll post my availability each weekend and you let me know what time works for you. Only a few of you have asked for specific days or times, and I'll do my best to honor those requests. Time slots are first-come, first-served. To get a slot, please respond back with your three preferred times if you're not already on the schedule (I'm pre-scheduling a few students by requested times on the lesson forms). For those students already pre-slotted, please find your spot and let me know if that works. This schedule will most likely change as I receive replies but I will let you know if it does change for your student. Also, I am giving scheduling priority to all KHS students first, then students who took lessons from me during the year, and then to everyone else. This includes length of lessons.

There are three lengths/costs of lessons this summer: 30 minutes for $17, 45 minutes for $25, and 60 minutes OR two 30 minutes for $30. The longer or more often each week we meet, the more you save! I ask that we pay for three weeks in advance this month to cover the rest of June. So, most families would pay either $51, $75, or $90 for June's lessons. If payment is an issue, please let me know as soon as possible so we can make arrangements.

For this week I will be available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, all at KHS. Next week is my annual Single Dad Week because my wife will be teaching at SFASU for band camps. I'll only be available Tuesday and Wednesday that week, unless I can find some arrangement for my daughter for another day, plus it's the first week of the World Cup so I need to keep our USA squad's spirits high with my cheering.  I'll keep everyone posted!

So, here's what I have available this week:
