Query Number Three

Dear Mr. Evans,

The current condition of the economy has led people to lose sight of their goals, knowing their financial incapability.  I would like to offer you a how-to story on how to teach yourself piano.

I have noted that Decibel Magazine is narrowly tailored to a musical audience, but not all readers may have musical knowledge.  This is a way to engage your audience in a way that not only gets them up-to-date on the most current news of the music world, but to take one’s own musical goals a step higher.

My 680-word article will propose a requirement list, so that way a reader can have everything ready and be fully focused on learning the piano.  I will include additional resources the reader can utilize, such as pictures and links to the rather helpful YouTube videos, and beginning books if the reader decides to take it that far.

I am a college student studying journalism, and have had experience in writing columns on a broad range of subjects.  I also have been playing piano for about 12 years, and have given lessons.

I can turn around a manuscript as soon as you may need it.  I included some of my clippings of my prior works.

I appreciate your time and look forward to working with you in the future.

Best regards,

Alexandra Slavas
