FREE INTRODUCTORY CLASS VIDEO
All who plan on taking the course should watch the introductory class. It is essentially the first class of the course.
The introductory class lays the foundation for the work that follows, and is an opportunity to see if the course fits your needs.
THE CLASS
Each course consists of one 2-hour class per week.
3 levels
• level I - beginning - 6 months
• level II - intermediate - 6 months, after completing the beginning class
• advanced - ongoing, by invitation or upon completing levels I & II
When you sign up for the beginning or intermediate course, we ask you to make a six-month commitment.
The course includes, but is not limited to:
- American vowel and consonant sounds
- American inflection and stressing
- American vocal patterns
- American vocal placement
- Email Jon to inquire if there are spaces available.
- Download the Zoom App on your phone, tablet or laptop. (It’s free and easy to use!)

- You will receive the easy, one-click link to "Zoom In” to the class.
Classes are limited to 25.
All participants will receive a video of the class and written material. Videos are restricted to class participants. By joining the class, you agree not to disseminate the video or any other material to anyone outside the class.
