So, with the second venue not working out, we are setting up a group lesson in SF, location to be determined. Wednesday nights.

All who are interested in studying with Sandy in SF, feel free to email me to be informed about future details.

As soon as we have a group of 8-10 interested players, he will start the classes again.

Peace,

Tony
