virtual lessons
online
Since the shift to online learning in 2020, our teachers have adapted to bring the same high-quality instruction to virtual lessons. We’re proud to offer students the flexibility to learn remotely via Skype whenever needed, providing a convenient alternative to in-person lessons.
Virtual lessons are also available when:
- A student is feeling under the weather and prefers to err on the side of caution
- Inclement weather prevents travel to the studio
- Traffic or unexpected delays might cause a student to miss a lesson
- A late school bus impacts arrival time
- A teacher is unavailable due to illness, or a student cannot secure transportation
This ensures consistent progress and learning, no matter the circumstances.
