Placement - Please Read
Due to the concerns raised by students and staff regarding the range of abilities in the adult classes, the teaching staff conducts an evaluation of all students in our lesson program. If you have any questions regarding your appropriate level, please contact Tim Schmidt or Alexander Shubny before registration.

Due to time constraints during the registration process, pros will not be available to discuss changes in levels. New students can estimate their level from the descriptions above and are encouraged to make an appointment to hit with a pro to ensure placement in the appropriate level.
