Location & Times
Conveniently Located
Lessons take place in my home studio in Clackamas, near Sunnyside Road and 119th Ave, one block west of Sunnyside Marketplace / Safeway Shopping Center.
Weekday afternoon lessons from 2:00 – 6:30 p.m.
Make every effort to arrive at your lessons promptly, so you receive the time set aside especially for you.
In our busy studio, very few openings come up for make-up lessons. You need to treat your lesson schedule as a priority.
Parents are encouraged to stay for lessons and are always welcome.
