Q: What if I have to miss a class session?
A: No problem! We have several options available to you! First, you are welcome to sit in on the same session of a different section of your class. You are also welcome to drop by our NYC school and take a free mini-lesson that will last 15 minutes. These are one-on-one lessons that will go over all the material in the particular class you missed. And lastly, if none of the other options work for you, you can apply the full amount of your class to a private lesson in your home.
