Harmonious Joan – Vancouver, Fairview

I’m a big Beatles fan! Group classes (adults or teens 16+) are online with two levels: Beginner and Advanced Beginner. Classes are small, comfortably paced, interactive, and the atmosphere is supportive and casual. Private lessons (adults or children 8+) are in-person near VGH, or online if you prefer.
