Salve Gente!
We all made it to 2021 and we’re looking forward to the day our training can go back to “normal”. Eventually, we’ll be able to train as we like. We also have to assume that things will always be a bit different. Remote training/courses are likely here to stay. The pandemic has forced everyone to pivot in their respective fields and we’re doing everything we can to adapt and stay with, if not ahead, of the curve in ours.
Improvements & Changes
High-Speed Internet
We recently upgraded the Academy’s internet service to handle the increased traffic due to the high turnout during online training. Hopefully, you have noticed a better connection and video quality. We intend to continue offering online resources for remote training even after the pandemic restrictions are lifted. This upgrade will ensure we can continue to offer these classes at high quality regardless of class size.
Online Resources
We’re in the process of adding online resources to assist in learning. These resources will include:
Movement List (with names, pronunciation, and video)
Academy Classes will be available online if you can’t make the live stream
Instrument tutorials
and more!
These will be available to all students with Full Access or Online Memberships.

I love this idea of classes being available after the live ones! I often get stuck working late so this would be wonderful. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for your continued flexibility, ingenuity, and hard work Contre Mestre! — Neal and Jamie
