As you know, we moved to the Isle of Wight at the end of November. As with most moves, there is a lot too do, with packing, cleaning, moving, more cleaning, decorating and unpacking to contend with.
Plus, once you are at your new home, especially being self employed, there is the task of getting your business back up and running.
I was lucky enough to bring some of my original students with me via Skype and Facetime lessons, and these are working very well.
I then contacted some players that had attended previous StaxofSax workshops with me, explaining that lessons can now be done remotely, and 2 more have now joined me regularly. Through advertising on Facebook groups, I have taken on 2 local students and I have been posting cards in shop windows this week. I still have space for a few more students either face to face or Remotely so please feel free to get in touch.
Busking has been going well in both Shanklin and Ventnor, and hopefully later today, I will go and play in Ryde. A very kind lady bought me a hot chocolate yesterday as it was very cold busking.
I am exhibiting at the Wight Bridal Wedding Show at the Medina Sports centre on the 27th of January, so why not pop along for a chat about your wedding music.
I have my first wedding of the year on the 2nd of February, and definitely looking forward to that.
I will be playing at 2 local residential and day care centres in the next few weeks, these are great fun, and we always have a good singalong too.
The business is steadily moving forward and growing, which is great. Ohh nearly forgot….. we also live in the best place in the world!
