Amazon helps me a bit, and you can too!
Dear friends, families, and site users ...
When you're ready to shop at Amazon.com please enter through a link on this page, like this one, or from a link on either of my music websites. When you do so (and if you complete your order during the same visit) Amazon rewards my referral by crediting me a small percentage of your entire purchase.
I certainly appreciate it. And it helps me keep my music education sites afloat!
Rest assured, your prices and shipping costs are the same regardless, and the transaction is handled completely and directly by Amazon—everything works just like normal. There's nothing more to it.
So please bookmark this page and use the search tool on the right to go to Amazon when you're ready to shop and purchase.

Similar relationships
You may have encountered similar requests in the past. For instance, perhaps your child's school encourages you to enter Amazon through their website. That's because Amazon rewards the school when you do so. My relationship with Amazon works the same way.
Why I set up this arrangement
Originally I created a few web pages to provide links to help my students locate lesson materials, music accessories, music merchandise not readily available in local stores, and to help eliminate confusion among dozens of similar online choices.
This proved helpful to everyone and people got the correct merchandise and a simplified shopping experience ... with a reliable vendor that offers great shipping options. And if you sign up for an Amazon Prime you get free two day shipping, low cost one-day shipping, and significant perks like Amazon's extensive Prime Music and Prime Video libraries.

As it turned out, as I began setting up links, I discovered I could strike up a relationship with Amazon and began earning referral fees. And here's the best part: I get a referral fee for ANY item you purchase and you don't have to buy anything listed on my site.
Making it work
When you're ready to buy something from Amazon and want ensure my "cut":
- Enter Amazon through this link, through the Amazon Search tool on this page, via any lins at the top of this page, through any ad in the right column, or though any of the product links on my web pages: TheoreticallyCorrect.com or Singingwood.com
- Once at Amazon use its search tool to locate items you want to buy. Move around Amazon freely, but don't close exit Amazon until you're done as that will disrupt the process.
- Then complete your purchase. After adding items to your cart be sure to checkout (i.e. complete your purchase) before leaving Amazon's site. In other words, don't close your browser window after adding items to your cart; don't wait to make your purchase another day. Doing so disrupts the process and removes the benefit.
If you have ad blocking enabled you probably won't see any Amazon links. You can temporarily turn off ad blocking,
or you can click this link to donate to this site via PayPal.
That's it. Thanks!
