Can I start now, in the middle of the series? Do I have to wait until next month?
Our classes are progressive and build on the material learned the week before. So if this is your first time through the series, and you've missed more than one class, then you do need to wait until next month. If you've only missed one class, then you can still join the class because we will go over last week's concepts again (but more quickly) and add new material to it. But if you miss more than one class, then you would need to start at the next month. It's just too hard on you if other people have had two weeks and you're just starting -- makes it too frustrating. We want you to succeed, and this really is the best way.
Another option is to take a private lesson to bring you up to speed, and then join the group lessons.
