Hey everyone!

For those who don't know me, my name's Elliot Craig. I'm a musician and a music teacher, and now that I'm back from Dorchacht, I'm starting up music lessons again! Music is a valuable tool. It can soothe, move hearts, and can even be a great way to channel spells!

The instruments I'm currently offering are:

Piano

Violin

Guitar

Singing

Recorder (great beginner woodwind instrument!)

My going rates are affordable as well! Standards rates are:

	30 Minutes	45 Minutes	60 Minutes
Solo Lesson	2500c	3000c	3500c
Group Lesson*	1500c	2000c	2500c

*No group lessons offered currently for piano

As always, the first lesson is free! Discounts are also available for those with lower incomes. Music lessons will take place either in the barracks or the Aoide Foundation school of music, depending on the instrument. Thanks to the Aoide Foundation for loaning of instruments!

And if you rather hear some music than play, I'll be doing free street performances in evenings in the Entertainment district, weather permitting! Here's a sample of a piece called "Looking up at the Sky"

[He attaches a audio file to the entry] That song and more will be on my first album which if everything goes smoothly, should be coming out this season!

Thank you for listening!

[OOC: Lessons themselves will be mostly handwaved!]

[fiddlestick]

What's that for?

[sylphid]

does it need a reason?

[fiddlestick]

Ah. Guess not.

[He switches the filter to PRIVATE]

By the way, would you mind getting your measurements done? It's for a hoodie.

[Unlike Towa, there is no point in trying to hide things from Fie]

uwu

private

[sylphid]

ok sure

private

[fiddlestick]

Great!

[He sends the address of the Knit Wit]

Swing by there whenever you have time. The person making it is Caren.

And don't worry about paying anything.

private

[sylphid]

why are we stealing them or something?

[I mean, if he wants...]

private

[fiddlestick]

What? No!

It's a gift! I'm buying it.

private

[sylphid]

oh that works too

thanks

private

[fiddlestick]

It's no problem, it sounded like something you'd like.

I ordered one for Towa too, though I'm keeping that quiet until it's ready.

[Because it's Towa and she'd try to pay for it herself and make a fuss about it.

private

[sylphid]

don't even bother telling her- i can just slide it into her closet when she's not there

see how it takes her to notice

private

[fiddlestick]

Wow, that's clever and also really makes me wanna put a lock on my wardrobe.

[don't go into people's closets Fie!!]

It's alright. Carin and I got a plan. Carin needs practice with size alterations, so I'm going to ask Towa to help me be models for her.

She'll never suspect a thing.

private

[sylphid]

that's cute

[Like it'd even come close to stopping her.]

that sounds like too much extra work but sure have fun

private

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I know. You'd see it as a challenge.

[Like a true cat]

I know, but we gotta be sure we got the right measurements. Besides, I think she'll enjoy doing it.

private

[sylphid]

i mean i'd enjoy sneaking it in there...

but yeah your way is better this time

private

[fiddlestick]

Maybe another time, okay? I get the feeling this won't be the only time we'll have to be sneaky about doing stuff for Towa.

private

[sylphid]

ugh you're right

ok just let me know when you need me to quietly place presents anywhere

[It's ok if it's to give gifts, right?]

private

[fiddlestick]

You'll be the first I call!

And maybe one day I'll figure out how to surprise you too.

sooooooo would you say a recorder is the best thing to try if you're a really big super beginner? like, 'never played an instrument before in your life' beginner?

[inquiring faun minds want to know.]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah! It's an excellent beginner instrument. Especially if you have an interest in wind instruments.

[textsfromhotland]

i guess it's worth a try!

i'm really not kidding about the beginner stuff though. my experience with musical instruments is "stood next to a piano once".

[fiddlestick]

Haha, don't worry. That won't be a problem!

I wouldn't be much of a teacher if I couldn't teach the basics.
