How It Works (performance based learning)

Your virtual lesson web page is created just for you and is private so you don't have to be shy about other people hearing your practice and progress. I will be the only person who has access to your lessons and videos (and the Ashbury Music Hall webmasters).

The cost for this session is $25 I will review up to 3 of your video posts per session / lesson (5 min. max on each video) and give you suggestions and examples.  I will answer your posted questions with appropriate media (text documents, video, audio, related links).  Once you get started & are ready for subsequent material,  you can choose to  enroll in another of my classes or take a private lesson with me.
You have access to all the content we create 24/7 allowing you to learn when YOU want!  Start a new session when you are ready.  sessions are active for 4 weeks.
