To ensure your training reflects a professional commitment, all students must complete two consecutive months of study to list the class on a performance resume. Furthermore, we are dedicated to accessible education: our classes operate under the Pay-It-Forward Scholarship Model, ensuring that financial constraints never prevent an artist from pursuing elite training.
