These classes are designed for students who wish to take lessons in a smaller group with a low instructor to student ratio. Classes will be divided up by ability level. Small group classes give the instructor the availability to offer more individualized attention to students as they learn skills and strokes with confidence. Students will also be able to excel at their own rate and work towards the next level.
