Questions involving money

Well I missed the class presentation about money so I was told to add some questions I might have about money. Here they are:

1. What can I write off for taxes as a musician?

2. How much do I charge for lessons?

I'm positive I have more questions, but I can't think of any others at the moment. I'm sure as I go through life I'll probably have many more questions. 

The Skeptics

I was glad that The Skeptics came into class to talk with us. It was helpful for me to learn of a new way to find work. I hadn't thought about being a session player for commercials on TV. I will definitely be stopping by their studio this summer to see if they need a trumpet player for anything. Perhaps that will be my May 3rd project. No sense in waiting around. Anywho, I thought the presentation was great and they had very helpful things to say. What I particularly enjoyed was hearing their stories as I do with most of the people who talked to our class. It is also comforting to know that they didn't exactly know what they were doing when they first started their business. It makes me realize that even successful people felt the same way that I do. All you have to do is try and through the process figure out what works.
