How does flexible scheduling work?
Arrange one to four lessons per visit, subject to confirmation. The full course can be completed over four to sixteen visits. Later dates are agreed directly with Joyce.
Can I book individual lessons from the Beginner's Course?
Yes. Individual lessons are £45 each, so you can pay as you learn or give a single lesson as a thoughtful gift. Each completed lesson counts towards the 16-lesson Beginner’s Course.
Does an eight-lesson block complete this level of study?
An eight-lesson block covers half of the 16-lesson course. You will need to complete the remaining lessons to finish the Beginner’s Course. The four review lessons are part of the required syllabus.
