We

all styles), Stephanie Marais specializing in
the younger student, teaches guitar, keyboard, recorder and cello. Barry Prince, popular as ever, has just a few places

Congratulations
to Graham Strickland for achieving 85% in his

to Tony Kershaw and Gill Farquharson for

overseas trips, or other clashes cannot just be changed or made

has cancelled well enough in advance to make one available).
If
a lesson is cancelled from our side an alternate lesson will
always be offered.

admin fee of R30.
One
terms notice is required to discontinue lessons.
