Online Lessons

I run online lessons available to everyone.

They are often Thursday mornings, 9:30am – 11:30 am Australian Eastern Time, and held on Zoom. If you sign up for the lesson, you can either attend live, or receive the video, notes, and hands later to go through in your own time.

Here is a list of the back catalogue of lessons.
