Room for Music Teacher

Post date 7 July 2021

Hive mind required! I’m wondering if anyone has a space or knows of a place, that could be let on a Friday for a small day fee in Willowbrae/Northfield/Portobello area. It may be a community space or it might be someone’s outdoor room – open to all ideas

The room would be used by a piano/harp teacher and primary students would be visiting for their 1 to 1 classes. If there is space for storage of a harp and electronic piano this would be a bonus but it can probably be worked around (or perhaps a piano is already there).

Please contact Phil at psdphotography@gmail.com if you know of anywhere.
