Skill Levels & Class Descriptions When making a schedule request or registering for a class, you will select the skill level that is appropriate for you/your child. If you have any questions about what level or class type is right for you, please contact us.
A Note about Private Lessons:
Private lessons are tailored to meet the needs of the student(s) in the class, so it is not necessary to specify a skill level when requesting or registering for one of those. They can also have one or multiple students. In the case of semi-private lessons, one customer login should be used to register the multiple students in a private class.
Group Lessons:
Below is a list of the different group level classes we offer. Please note that not all classes are offered in every session since we create the schedule based on the input we receive from customers in their schedule requests.
