YOUTH & TEEN

Great cooks seem to operate on intuition.

Watch one at work and you might think he or she must have a sixth sense that switches on in the kitchen. But great cooks aren’t psychic. They simply understand the fundamental principles of cooking. This class brings you into the test kitchen with fun and unique experiments to show you the science at work. The experiments demonstrate why adding fat to your eggs will make the perfect tender omelet, why grinding your own meat will make the ultimate burger, and why you should have patience before carving your roast. So sign up for this class and your Junior Chef is sure to not only be a food genius after, but know how to cook like a pro!

GROUP PIANO CLASSES

Age 6-9 with Svetlana Tuchinsky, B.M., MA Education & 15+ yrs experience Learning to play the piano is FUN! We believe that piano lessons should be enjoyable and productive, not dull and isolated. By putting our students into small groups at the beginning levels, we give them a chance to share learning experience with others. This creates a built-in support team of friends and stimulates children to practice. Students are grouped according to their age and ability. Activities include music-oriented games, EZ music theory, and ear-training.

Classes are progressive. Each student has access to a piano or keyboard in class, however, a piano or keyboard is needed to practice at home. We hold a recital at the end of the session.

Lab Fee: $25 payable to instructor at 1st class. LIMITED ENROLLMENT. Classes with 3 children will be reduced to 35 minutes.

The dog is taught to move freely and easily with the collar, so one day you barely have to use it! The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home. You will need a 6 foot comfortable leash. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

Intermediate: This class will instruct students in off-leash control. This is done with the addition of a 30 foot long line.

ALL Dogs must have current rabies and distemper vaccinations. A 6 foot comfortable leash is required. Special nylon choke collar included in fee. Minimum owner age is 11 years old. Questions? Contact Paige 415.602.1122.
