Dear Neighbor,
My name is _____________________ and I live in apartment #________. I am reaching out to you because I need to make some noise at regular times in my apartment, and I want to coordinate with you to make sure my noise doesn’t bother you.
I am a musician. Music is my passion – it is the most important thing in my life aside from my family! Being a performer requires a lot of practicing, so my muscles and skills remain in shape. In order to keep up with my musical commitments, I usually practice every day.
I generally practice every day from ____ until _____. During this time, you may hear some sound coming through the walls. I hope this will work for you.
Please contact me at ________________________ if you have any concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. Let me know if you are ever interested in coming to see me perform one day!
Warm regards,
