Quick Answers to Your Questions

How does the Video Exchange® system work?
You can record yourself playing a lesson and submit it for Sean to review. He’ll send back a personalized video response with tips and guidance. These exchanges are added to the library, so you’ll also benefit from seeing how he coaches other students.
Do I have to be an intermediate or advanced player to join?
Not at all! Lessons are organized for all levels—from complete beginners learning their first coordination exercises to advanced players working on playing in modes. You’ll progress at your own pace and can revisit lessons anytime.
Can I learn at my own pace?
Yes! All lessons are available on-demand, so you can move as quickly or as slowly as you like. There are no deadlines or required class times.
What devices can I use?
You can access the school on any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Lessons stream in high definition, and you can use features like looping and slow motion across all devices.
