Washington Lawyers for the Arts is pleased to announce WLA Legal Advice Week for January from January 18 – 22, 2021. Join in this week-long pro bono telephone clinic where artists and arts professionals statewide can get 30 minutes of free advice related to their legal issues. WLA LAW starts January 18, 2021. The telephone legal clinic will continue for the foreseeable future along side the in-person clinic at Seattle University.

After just completing a double major in Music Composition and Music Education I am ready for the next step in life; all I know for sure is that it will involve music.
Mary J. Trotter
I am a lover of text and melody, which is why you’ll most often find me working with singers. A pianist by trade, I recently completed my doctorate in music and hope, one day in a post-COVID world, to teach at the university level. In our current COVID world, I’m enjoying offering virtual piano lessons to people of all ages and abilities. Do you have a child itching to start lessons? Are you a retiree in quarantine, looking to return to something you haven’t done since childhood? I would love to help further you on your musical journey! Send me a message through my website, and I will be in touch.
