Pre- live auction bids are welcome. Please email dbeal@yvonne-arnaud.co.uk with your maximum bid.

Ts & Cs: Dates and times to be mutually agreed with the session being held on the grand piano at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. The guarantee of playing the piano is with the understanding that the music will be of a fairly simple nature, not yet playing a Beethoven symphony! The composing of music must be for words of your own and not to be published though it can be shared on social media.  If it was to become a published piece the usual writing credits and financial arrangements would need to be made.
