  ABOUT THE KORA LESSONS
 

Lessons are all one-to one, and are held each week. However students are not obliged to come every week - upon prior arrangement students can have lessons as often or as little as they like.

Although it is much more beneficial for students to have their own Kora to practice on at home, it is not imperative. Koras are provided on location, so students do not have to come to lessons with their own Kora, although it is more beneficial to do so as some may find it tricky to adjust to the positioning of a different Kora.

 

  LOCATION:
  Lessons are held in Islington, North London.
