Spring, 2021 Online Guitar Workshops
April 5 - May 27
A word about the coronavirus and how it effects these classes:
Our classes will be meeting live via Zoom, and I'll also videotape each class, in case you can't tune in at the scheduled time. You MUST pre-register to participate, because I'll need to send you the link for your class in addition to PDF's of the handouts each week.
Scroll down to the class of your choice and click on the "add to cart" button to sign up!
Hope to see you soon!
