Parental Guidance
This class is a safe, fun, and educational place for the student who appreciates live instruction with the support of free expression. I don't require students "follow along" with me, but some appreciate the structure. Some of my classes are very talkative while others are not, it just depends on the energy of the group. Your child can participate as much or as little as they choose and are always encouraged to ask questions if needed. I am here to provide support, and encouragement to all learners so they can create something they are proud of.
