Dear Golden Key Piano School Community,
We would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! May the year 2021 bring you much joy, health, love and healing from what we all experienced this past year. We have some New Year’s gift for you and some great news.
1. New Year’s Special:
Discount for Those Interested in Taking 2 Weekly Lessons
Piano has been a great tool for our students to express themselves during this difficult time. It has helped them use their staying at home time in a productive way. During the last 9 months many of our students became much more serious about their piano practice, quiet a few families upgraded their instruments and some students added a second weekly lesson to their schedule.
To help you on the path of focusing more on your piano playing and getting more out of it we have a special offer for the month of January. Here are the details:
- Start taking two weekly lessons and the tuition for your second lesson will be discounted as followed.60 minutes lessons:
$270 per month.
$370 per month. (with Katrin Arefy – Head teacher)45 minute lessons:
$250 per month
$350 per month (with Katrin Arefy – Head teacher) - Offer is valid through January 30, 2021
- Some teacher’s availability is very limited so we can only accommodate the second lesson as long as there is room in your teacher’s schedule.
2. Theme recital
Receiving your recital videos we were really delighted to see how much every single one of the students improved over the last year. It was also great to see how all the children became taller, and more mature. We are really proud of all the students at Golden Key Piano School and look forward to share the result of their hard work in our Theme Recital.
