Dear Bridge
Enthusiast:
After forty years at the bridge table I still feel a rush of excitement each time I pick up a hand. I can't help wondering what new adventure awaits me. I love this beautiful game.
I also love teaching it.
At
my clubs we teach bridge like no one else does.
Two reasons
why...
One:
As strange as it seems few
teachers seem to remember that it's a game.
We don't make that
mistake. We certainly don't adhere to the old fashioned rote way of
teaching that requires a powerful memory, endless blackboard work, and copious
note taking.
We take a much more user friendly,
common sense approach. We assume nothing, not even that you know an
ace from a deuce. We begin by playing "War", a game you
probably played as a child. Step by step we build on that until midway
through the first session you find yourself playing bridge. By the end
of that first session you will have a basic understanding of how tricks are
won and lost and you'll be starting to bid and play without having
memorized a thing!
After seven lessons
you won't be a great player, but you will have an insight into what it
takes to be one. Hopefully we will have done our job and passed on to you our
love for this remarkable, exciting game.
Two:
Four or five students to a class.
That's right...four
or five. One table, one instructor.
That's for five of
the seven sessions that make up the beginner course.
The
other two sessions are group lessons. Here's where you'll get to meet
everyone else starting out and be introduced to other members of our staff.
You'll practice what you learned with over twenty pre-set instructional
hands.
Ask around. No such program, no such 4/5 to 1 ratio exists
anywhere else.
This combination of semi-private
and group lessons works. We have an outstanding track record. A high
percentage of our students go on to become players. Each week nearly a hundred
students play in one or more of our practice sessions, and our weekly novice and
intermediate games are always jammed. In the past thirty-three years we've
probably created more players than anyone else.
The classes are fun. The
instruction is first rate.
And I know you're going to have a great
time.
I guarantee it.
