I've gotten some tough news tonight, and am sending this email to anyone who I think might have a lead for me. I've just lost my terrific teaching/pied a terre space in NYC and need to quickly find a substitute. History: Since last Sept., I've been renting studio space in an apartment on the upper west side, with a great piano AND (bonus) a harpsichord, and recently I became the tenant's unofficial roommate, with my own room, so I could consistently spend a couple of days a week in Manhattan. It's been perfect, and this is the right timing for the career: having this pied-a-terre has enabled me to make extraordinary connections and re-connections, and has very quickly led to rewarding new projects. I also have several NYC students now. Today: The building is starting to enforce a lot of rules that have been on the books but ignored for 25 years, including one that says that unless you're on the lease, you can't teach in the building. So, with absolutely no notice, I have to cancel all my teaching, starting immediately, which means I also must start looking for a new place to stay since the teaching income is what makes the arrangement viable. I need: preferably my own room in a cat-free, dog-free, smoke-free apartment in an accesible part of Manhattan, that has a piano I can use for voice teaching and vocal practice. I've set up my other obligations so that Thursday/Friday are the regular days I come in, though this could be changed to two other contiguous weekdays; and I need occasionally to come in at other times when I have work. Since I'm carrying a house mortgage and can only spend a couple of days a week in NYC, I need the financial part to be very reasonable. If you have any leads to suggest, please call or email me ASAP. My phone upstate is 914-247-9464. I'll be in Manhattan this Thurs. & Friday, and -- for now -- my phone there is 212-316-0584. Thanks in advance for any ideas you can offer.
