How training works

  1. Prepare online. Manuals, demos and pre-work open in your student portal before each studio weekend.
  2. Train live. Weekend modules in Los Angeles on classical apparatus, in small cohorts.
  3. Practice on your own. Self-practice, worksheets and class plans between weekends.
  4. Check and certify. Quizzes along the way, then a final assessment and your certificate.
