Dear Nicola,
Thank you for your generous You Tube(?)tutorials. They are wonderful jazz songs.
I am sorry I can’t be a paid member yet.
I cannot operate my iPad well soon after purchasing iPad deleting APP download application not knowing what it was for, as it was downloading a lot of unwanted app or something that I never knew why so many things were coming in everyday, or they were there to start with, so many different areas but what I would love to have. So, without thinking to check with the App shop help, i had deleted it.
There was no explanation how to cancel after certain period of time, either.
I need to now that,too. As I can only pay certain number of months, when I can start to pay in the future.
I would appreciate it very much if you notify the way how to stop paid subscriptions which is easy to do.
Always appreciate your way of teaching. So natural, relaxed, and not so hyper like American people on YouTubes. You voice sounds great.
with best regards,
Yasuko
