Private cello lessons $25 per 30 min.Reasonable?I’m not trying to create Yo Yo Ma here. — The Next Martha (@TheNextMartha) February 4, 2013

We have a feeling this might be relevant to your interests, as a parent currently on a blog who may write a blog yourself…do you agree with Guerrilla Mom? We like her bluntness and her opinion!
