What Do I Get Out of It?
The Sonnet Course has a specific end goal that we work towards; the Onegin Stanza.
* This keeps focus
* Increases motivation
* Utilizes and instrumentalizes hardships one encounters along the way by showing how they help the student acheive the ultimate goal.
The Sonnet Course is fun, practical and laser focused on tools, experience and skill, making the best possible use of both the student's and the teacher's time.
​
This is a one-on-one experience with an "expert" that can't be beat.
The student reaps all the benefits of the incredibly low demand!
​
The course costs less than many other general arts courses with the benefit of being like a university level graduate course.
