Class Experience

Come enjoy a delightful and unique opportunity to become familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most well-known character, super sleuth and analytical genius Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes has influenced countless stories and characters since his debut in 1887 and is arguably the most recognizable character in any era and across any generation. I invite you to join us as we embark on an unforgettable theatrical reading of Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet. 

First published on December 1, 1887 in the Beeton's Christmas Annual, a British paperback magazine, "A Study in Scarlet" introduced for the very first time a detective who has now become known worldwide. Sherlock Holmes did not reappear in public text until three years later in the account of "The Sign of Four", published in 1890, but it wasn't until a year later in 1891 when six short stories were published in The Strand magazine that his popularity rose and he quickly became one of the most sought after characters in literature. "A Study In Scarlet" tells the story of the very beginning. Come join us, along with Dr. John H. Watson himself, as we go back in time to the very beginnings of this unforgettable series of mysteries. See you soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi everyone!

My name is Charlotte Klein and I'm so excited to teach your learners! My teaching partner on my shoulder is Rue, my sun conure parrot. She will be joining us for all of my lessons and makes a great co-teacher! 

I graduated in 2015 from Brigham Young University - Idaho with my Bachelor of Music Education: Choral Emphasis and have been teaching since. I have over 5 years experience in the public and charter school classroom as a choir, guitar, and general music teacher all the way from kindergarten to high school. I have been trained in opera and vocal jazz, play guitar, have experience in percussion, and fake the piano really well. I've also been a bus driver, a truck driver, have worked at a plant nursery, am fluent in Spanish, and am an amateur Astronomy enthusiast. On the side, I am also an avid literature lover and took a variety of advanced English courses while in school, including Shakespeare and AP English.

I look forward to offering a variety of music classes, some book clubs, as well as a bird club for current or prospective bird owners who would love to learn more! In my music classroom we will be exploring all sorts of musical elements such as rhythms, how to read music, music history, composers, etc. I believe music through movement is powerful and I incorporate movement in to every lesson as well as cross-curricular activities to help support reading and math. 

I am so excited to get to personally know your learners and look forward to our adventures together!


Class Procedures / Policies:

1. Unless specifically required by the class type, I will happily hold class for one student. I know some of my favorite experiences as a student were when I could have my teacher's undivided attention and I will never deny an enthusiastic student!

2. I will admit students in to the classroom right at the scheduled time and for up to 5 minutes after. In the event that no student is present when class begins, I will wait ten minutes before exiting and closing the class.

3. Disclaimer: Class sizes and student participation can sometimes cause class to run a little short or long, but I will always do my best to end class at the designated time.

4. I come from a family of 5 and I know that a little can add up to a lot quickly with multiple children. If you would like to enroll multiple siblings in the same class (at the same time), it will be full price for the first and a 20% discount for each subsequent sibling. (Please note they must be in the same class & section for the discount to apply.) Simply sign up your children for class(es) as usual, send me a message, and I will process a 20% refund on their enrollment afterwards. You will receive a refund email to show the refund has been processed.
