The lesson structures

Our live online sessions happen two times per week and are optional. You do not need to join in, but once you do we think you will be hooked. During the classes, you can ask questions and get feedback on your tracks. If you prefer, you can just sit quietly and listen.

Most students come to one live session per week. The schedules are posted on the website well in advance. The two sessions are usually scheduled to allow students in different time zones to attend.

To join the live session simply click the link that we will send to you – no additional software is required. If you have a webcam the teacher will be able to see you, but if you don’t that’s fine. You will always be able to see and hear the teacher, in real-time.
