OFFER OF LUTE LESSONS, EAST ANGLIA

After keeping a very low lute profile for the past 20 or more years, Peter Trent is currently in a position to increase his small number of lute pupils in East Anglia. If anyone would be interested in Renaissance Lute lessons between the hours of 8am in North Norfolk and 7pm in Ipswich every Monday and if I can fit it into a sensible itinerary, please get in touch by telephone 01328 829455 or mailto:peter.trent@btinternet.com

Thanks to Peter from the Lute Society for this inforamtion update
