Contacted two local piano teachers last night before bed. Neither has replied back.

I wonder about the long term health of the profession, considering the superabundance of free online learning material available for instant gratification. The single advantage local piano teachers have is they can give personalized, one-on-one attention. Yet I've been dismissed or ignored by all three private music teachers I've reached out to.

On a happier note, I'm enjoying the John Cage: American Composers audiobook. I ordered a used physical copy of the book too because it discusses very technical music theory I'll want to grapple with later.
