URGENT: SUZUKI BOOKS TO BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY .
MATT provides all books free of charge, with the expectation that they will be returned when no longer needed.
This year we have found that we have TWO only SUZUKI BOOK 1 for violin, after providing a book for every student every year for 8 years! This means people are not returning our books as required. This may simply be an oversight BUT -PLEASE SEARCH YOUR HOME for our books and return NEXT CLASS all those you are no longer using for lessons.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS URGENT SITUATION
