Registration can only be completed during open registration time. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis and is offered to Bristol residents one day in advance of non-Bristol residents. We kindly ask one registration per participant to allow others the opportunity to take the classes as well. There are no exceptions. Management reserves the right to remove students who do not meet the qualifications to take part in specialized lessons. Should you have any questions, we would love to answer them.

Please note that we do the best that we can to take on as many students as possible. However, space is very limited and participation in one session does not automatically guarantee space in the next session.
We ask participants to fill out our online form to register. Online forms will need to be filled out for each individual participant. Forms expire annually and will need to be updated after one year. Registration can only be completed during open registration time. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis and is offered to Bristol residents one day in advance of non-Bristol residents. We kindly ask one registration per participant to allow others the opportunity to take the classes as well. There are no exceptions. Management reserves the right to remove students who do not meet the qualifications to take part in specialized lessons. Should you have any questions, we would love to answer them. Please give us a call at (860) 584-3837.
