Lisa,

I'm going to NYC on Sunday and will be away from this machine for two 
weeks so I'm sending you some extra expense numbers in the event that 
you need them.

Music/supplies $861.20
That's anything from CDs, sheet music, valve oil, etc.

Maintenance/repairs $290.61

Instrument insurance $205.21

Office supplies $412.09
Paper, paper clips, CD blanks, computer parts/repairs, toner for 
printer, these sorts of things

Audition trip to Sweden:
Airfare                    $757.32
hotels                      $420.28
ground transport.    $116.77
Per diem 3 days       ???

Study trip to NYC:
Airfare                  $592.27
Lesson fee*           $125.00
Per diem 7 days        ???

*I played for three different people but only one charged me

Performance trip to Finland:
Airfare                $592.27
ground transport.  $24.26
per diem 4 days

Rent for 2009         $6,792.82
heat/elect. for 2009    $665.50
phone/internet        $1,667.87

By contract I'm obligated to perform "heimavinna" (literally "homework" 
i.e. practice) 15.5hrs a week out of a total of 37.5hrs (these numbers 
are all directly from, or derived from our master agreement).  That 
means 41% of my salaried work is to be done at home at my expense; I 
have to find facilities for that.  (What's the opposite of  a benefit?  
Would that be a malefit?  Or is it a benefit I'm obligated to provide my 
employer?)  On top of that, my non-wage income amounted to 13.53% of my 
total gross income for which I bear the costs in terms of preparation 
space etc.  I included the rent, heat/elec. and phone/internet amounts 
as I believe that some of this can be deducted as business related since 
I'm doing a fair amount of my work at home.

I hope this is enough info for you to work with if you need to.  These 
are the numbers.  I can certainly answer any other questions without 
sitting in front of this particular computer.

Thanks,

David
