Bookblog for Bookworms: Witness launch for Cath Staincliffe

Welcome

Welcome to the book blog of writer and creative writing tutor, Diane Paul.

Thanks to the publishers and kind PR people who send me books and releases about their clients' books for review. Press releases and review copies of fiction and non-fiction are always welcome. (No sci-fi, fantasy or erotica please.)

Due to the barrage of requests from self-published authors for reviews, I'm unable to deal with them all, although I'm sometimes drawn to non-fiction for the subject matter. And because I love print books, the smell, the touch of the paper and the sight of the words, I don't have an electronic reader or review e-books.

MANCHESTER PIANO TUTOR ONLINE

Owing to the pandemic, all lessons are currently online via Skype. You can join from anywhere in the world.

Lessons are 30 minutes to begin with but can be extended to 45 or 60 minutes later.

I am currently offering a 50% discount for a 30 minute trial lesson for the month of July only. Why not have a try? It's great fun.

You will need a piano or fully weighted keyboard. You can relax in your own home, using your own instrument with no stressful journeys to make.

I teach children from 7 years old and adults of any age. Exams are optional. I teach from Grade 1 to Grade 8 with 100 per cent success rate.

Learn to play Mindfully, using your senses, being aware of what you are doing and focussing.

Gift vouchers make great presents for friends and relations who would love to learn how to play the piano.
