Piano Lessons
I am now offering piano lessons. Ages 3 and up. One hour time slots once a week will be scheduled Monday through Friday between 10am and 4pm. All I ask is that you be willing to work hard and practice (with exception for the little ones of course).

Contact me either here or via text if you're interested.

	How patient are you with the tone deaf, darling? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Very patient. I managed to teach my brother before he gave up and he couldn't tell an A sharp from a G flat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sign me up then, please. It's been on my to-do list for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What day and time would you like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	I do have a lot of free time considering I have two husbands to look after the children. When can you fit me in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Right now you're my only student so let's say Mondays at 10? And I can bring a portable keyboard to you or you can come to my studio. Which would you prefer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	I'll come to you, if that's alright? It'll give me a chance to escape the chaos for some peace. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good. You know where the house is and my studio is where the garage used to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds positively wonderful dear. I can't wait to get started after putting it off for fifteen years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	If you'd like, after your lesson I could walk home with you and start teaching Stevie. And I understand if you want to discuss it with the guys first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	I admire your ambition in teaching my 3 year old supersoldier son what a scale is. Or what a note is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	I started learning when I was three. It took a lot of patience from my teacher but she managed it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	You're very welcome to try. I'll give you a medal if you manage it. Right now, Stevie's favourite game is playing the drums on our saucepans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Then he's already got a taste for music. I'll give it three lessons and if he doesn't like it we can stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Fair enough, I should think. What can I give you in return? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to give me anything. This is just my way of finding something to do ~~other than my husband~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Can I at least give you some self defence training? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like a great idea, actually. I think Tim would like it if he knew I could defend myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2015-07-23 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful. I can get Steve and Bucky to help out when I can't anymore (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	When you can't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	TJ offthepeg 2015-07-24 08:25 am UTC (link)
	Uh... forgive the slip. I'm not meant to be telling anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy thomashammond 2015-07-24 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	So congratulations are in order then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	TJ offthepeg 2015-07-24 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	I'm only a few weeks at most, we'll have plenty of time before I'm the size of a house. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy thomashammond 2015-07-24 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	That's great! Though this seems to be the trend, me knowing you're pregnant before you officially announce it (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	TJ offthepeg 2015-07-24 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	I can't seem to keep a secret very well. Not so good for a spy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy thomashammond 2015-07-24 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	This isn't the kind of secret that's going to ruin governments or cost people lives, though. It's good news. That kind of secret is hard to keep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	TJ offthepeg 2015-07-24 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose not. We'd been trying for a while so it's a relief as well. I'll still be able to teach you some hand to hand combat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy thomashammond 2015-07-24 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'm really happy for you guys. As long as it won't get me angry looks from your husbands. Steve has that one look that could melt steel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	TJ offthepeg 2015-07-24 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	I very much doubt that; they trust me to know what I'm doing most of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peggy thomashammond 2015-07-24 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jrsully 2015-07-23 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't mind figuring out how much more work I need to do on the piano. I'm good, but not as good as you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	You busy tomorrow? We can do a quick assessment and see what you need to work on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jrsully 2015-07-23 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Can do! Be just like old times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome. Meet at the studio at 10am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jrsully 2015-07-23 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	You got it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	amethyst_ 2015-07-23 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	I'd like lessons, as long as you don't mind a total beginner. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. I'm happy to teach anybody. When's a good time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amethyst_ 2015-07-23 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'm free any time as long as it's not on Thursday or a Friday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	How about Mondays at 2pm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amethyst_ 2015-07-23 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	That's perfect! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thomashammond 2015-07-23 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Great. My studio or I can come to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amethyst_ 2015-07-23 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'll come to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
