Master Lessons with John Bloomfield! An exciting opportunity!
John Bloomfield
Senior Director of the Golandsky Institute, NYC, is coming to Kansas
City as our Master Lessons Clinician!
February 14-17, 2015, Schmitt Music
This is a great time to consider Master Lessons with John Bloomfield, co-founder and senior
director of the Golandsky Institute during February 14-17. There are a limited amount of spaces available. Consult with me if this is something your child would be interested in. I would like to send in the enrollment within the next week or so. Fees are $40, $55 and $70 for 30, 45 and 60 minute lessons.
Mr. Bloomfield is excited to work with our students of all ages and levels, from beginning
students to those who are playing advanced literature, as well as teachers. He has a
wealth of knowledge and experience to share with us, and is a master at solving technical
roadblocks!
