Pricing for Two Hour Away Lectures is $200 plus travel expenses.
Expenses for travel is a complex subject. I will make an effort to combine other business with
a workshop to cut back on this expense for the student. However, if I make a long trip
to your area, your group will be asked to help with travel and lodging.
I get quite a few inquiries from individuals who cannot afford a private lesson so would ask
that your group
be open to allowing outside individuals to join in your workshop (space permitting). I would post the dates that
I will be in your area and redirect any individual inquiries to your activity organizer.
