Dear Craigslist violinist-seekers:

If you're looking for lessons, I'm happy to talk to you. If you live an hour away from Boston, aren't near anywhere the MBTA serves, and want me to come every week, you don't get to be shocked when my availability is very limited by the fact that I only have access to the car one day a week. Perhaps your search for lessons should take place closer to your home?

Love,

TAF
