As some of you will know, we moved to the Isle of Wight at the end of 2018. My wife had to stay in Leicester to finish off at her job, but finally moved over permanently 2 weeks ago. She started her new job here on Monday and has survived the first week, in pretty sound condition.
For me, I am building my business back up. This includes attracting new students, talking to venues about possible gigs, busking, workshops and networking meetings.
So far, I have started working with 2 local students doing face to face lessons. I have also kept some of my Leicestershire and Rutland students by using Facetime and Skype (this is working really well). I have also just booked a trial lesson for an adult clarinettist. I am running a workshop for a local Saxophone ensemble in March along with giving a presentation about wedding music to a group of Brides to be at a networking workshop run by a local wedding co-ordinator.
Tonight, I am playing at Cowes Golf Club for a social evening, and next month I am playing at a Yacht Club in Cowes for their Jazz evening.
So things are moving in the right direction for us.
If you would like to talk about lessons for yourself or a friend, via Skype or Facetime or face to face, then please get in touch or pass on my details.
Many thanks
Dave
