6-week Live Online Session

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty of our future ability to congregate, we have decided to discontinue in-person classes for the rest of the session.

While we are not going to be holding in-person classes, we are opening up a six-week session of live online classes via Zoom. Classes will run from April 6 - May 15 and we are also working on organizing a virtual end-of-session recital for all interested.

Each class meets two or more times a week and archived videos will be available to class participants (students must be enrolled to receive access to class videos).
Since we cannot provide the individualized attention and in-person feedback we value in our classes, we are offering this 6-week session on a sliding scale, asking you pay what you can towards our teaching fees.
Minimum enrollment is needed to continue classes. This proposed schedule is based on what we think will work best for our community; times and classes may shift depending on participant preference/availability and enrollment demands.
