  I love this Daniela and I think it’s spot on. I did have a couple of thoughts/ideas for you too though.
  
  #3 could also be that you don’t need a partner to tango… and then you can go into meeting new people, etc.
  
  Could #2 also mention fitness levels?

Do you want to create deeper connections while travelling to Germany, Austria or Switzerland?

Even if you only have basic German skills, these will open lots of doors because the German speakers you meet will be impressed with your efforts to communicate with them in their language and will go the extra mile for you.

Are you looking for an…Read More

  This is great Kerstin. For #2 could you maybe mention that they may just make some new friends too? It seems to me like the service you offer is a great way to help people connect with people in those countries on a deeper level.

  I think these are great reasons to take your course!
  
  I would just change the first paragraph a little to “Even basic German skills will open lots of doors…”
  
  Maybe you could make the points non questions. So, they should take your course so they can: Create deeper connections while traveling, Immerse yourself in the culture to get a truly…Read More

    Thank you for the suggestions, Annette. I will try out both options and compare the reactions.

When deciding which musical instrument to start lessons on (counting voice as an instrument!), we need to consider these three questions:
1. Do you like the sound?
2. Do you like how it feels when you play?
3. How soon do you want to be able to make music?
(Wrapped up in that last question is these: How hard are you willing to work? Do you…Read More

  Overall I like this a lot. I’m a little confused which statements you are using the numbered or asterisked sentences.I know they are related, still a bit confused. Another element you might consider is in #1– is it useful to distinguish between how the instrument sounds when you try to play in the beginning or as it is supposed to be played…Read More

    Thank you, Joel! Very detailed as always. The formatting here is a little limited. I’ll be fleshing out the numbered points in 5 videos (overview, each point, summary). The asterisks represent bullet points for the first video. #1–finished product sound; #2–how it feels to play; #3–this is funny, because “learning curve” was the phrase…Read More

      Sorry, it maybe that learning curve is better for me than challenge level, and there maybe a more direct way to say it. Or maybe, I’m just Fickle! LOL!!!

      Yes, I’m sure I managed to take it from bad to worse! And it’s really good to know. But actually #3 is the words I plan to use, and everything below is just notes. Thanks as always!

  I really like this and love love the title. I have a curiosity around #2 – they don’t know how to play yet so is it about “how it feels to play with it!!!” – although that’s awkward languaging – but I do know what you mean. how it feels to hold the instruments? (although a piano you won’t hold it necessarily)…
  the asterisk – the first one -…Read More

    Thanks, Daniela! Regarding #2 yes, I wish you could join us! There will be teachers at every station assisting folks with proper set-up and technique. You’d get an idea of how fussy each is (ukulele–not at all; violin–very) and whether your body (neck, shoulders, etc.) is more suited to one than another. Of course, this is just a taste, and…Read More

  I love this so much! I have a desire to learn piano and ukelele… but #3 is definitely a barrier for me. I’d LOVE to visit your petting zoo though. 🙂

    Thanks! It’ll be our first time, but I bet it will be a blast! Ukulele is actually the speediest track from zero to hero. Didn’t I see instruments hanging on your wall in the Zoom call?
