Purchasing Student Home Materials - Play-a-Story
The Play-a-Story improvisation program consists of three modules (Zephyr Wind, Ocean Lullaby and Travel Notes). You can choose to buy one module at a time, or you can purchase all three at a discounted per module price. You are purchasing a one-year subscription, therefore I do NOT recommend the bundle as we typically spend one and a half years to complete all three modules.
Also, when you purchase the Play-a-Story subscription, there will be an option to purchase a physical storybook. If you think you might like the book but are not sure, feel free to delay the Play-a-Story purchase and I can show you the book at our first lesson.
1. Go to www.InnerMusician.com.
2. On the top right, click “Store.”
3. Under “Journey 1: Song of the Zephyr-Wind” click the green “Purchase Here” button.
4. Complete your purchase on the next screens.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like assistance.
