How to Register - Spring 2014

There has been some confusion about how to register for Spring 2014.  Registration started Monday 2/17 and continues until 3/14.  The class term starts on 3/24 and ends on 5/16.  My classes start after Auburn City Schools Spring Break on 3/31.  Please register early as I specialize in small group instruction and my classes fill up quickly; as do spots for private and semi-private students.
 
You MUST register by calling or going by: The Harris Center (334) 501-2930; hours: M-F 8 to 5 pm for all classes.  If you are interested in private or semi-private lessons, please ALSO contact me personally as I only have so many spots to place private and semi-private students. 
 
The way that private and semi-private lessons times work is that I see what group classes make first then I start working on my private and semi-private schedule.  The students who are returning have first pick of days and times and then I place new students.  That is why it’s important to let me know early if you’re interested.
 

As always if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.  With the weather changing back and forth I have been suffering from a lot of headaches.  I have not been able to do as much on the computer as I like, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.
