We recognize that parents may need to take on a greater role with the instruction of their children this year. We could provide a semi-private lesson to a child and adult where the adult would like to be involved in the instruction of the child. This choice should be made carefully since younger children often have difficulty taking direction from the instructor when the parent is present.
