The classes are done in Webinar format. You watch and play along. You can join the conversation and ask questions in the chat during the presentation. You can download the class handouts during the class.

How do I get online for the class?

It’s SUPER easy. You just sign-up for the class with your name and email for as many sessions as you like from the scheduling Calendar List. Once you are registered you will then receive an email confirmation and a reminder with the link to the Tiki Online Classroom. Just click the link a few minutes before the scheduled class time and you are in!

How do I get the Class Materials Handouts?

It takes 10 times as long to fix a bad playing habit as it does to create a good one.

Why can’t I get the handouts before the class

We would rather teach you the correct way to play it and THEN have you practice it with good technique rather than have you waste your time practicing it wrong all week and have to spend even more time fixing and unlearning bad habits.

If there are handouts ready before the lesson you will get an email with the download links attached after you register. Everything is taught in the class so you don’t need them ahead of time.
During the class you will be able to download the class materials directly from the lesson interface in your browser.
After the lesson you will receive an email with the replay links to the lesson and the support materials
