Instructions:


This is a two step process. You must request your private lesson(s) here and you must pay for your lesson(s) back on the Regonline site. When your payment has gone through, we will schedule your lesson(s) and send you an email confirmation within a week.

We will begin taking requests for private lessons as soon as the AGM registration is open (approximately March 16th.)

You may book up to two lessons through this system. Once you arrive at the conference, you may be able to book additional lessons if they are available.

1. Review the schedule and availability in the charts below. Red indicates that the time slot has been taken and is unavailable. If a section is blank, it means the teacher is not teaching at that time. You are responsible for making sure the private lessons you select do not overlap with your workshops. The registration site does not do this automatically for you.

2. Teacher bios are listed below the availability charts.

3.. Fill-in the form (located at the bottom of this page, below the schedule) to request a private lesson(s).

4. Pay for your lesson via the AGM registration site. To get back to the registration site go to: amsat.ws/AGM09. Click on the registration button at the bottom of the page to and you will be taken back to the online registration. You will pay for your lessons is the "other fees" section.

5. You will receive confirmation via email of your lesson(s) within a week of paying for them.

Note: For the first two weeks of registration (approximately March 16th - 31st) we will update this site daily to show which lessons have been booked. After the first two weeks of registration, we will be updating this site weekly, so there may be a slight discrepancy between what is actually available and what is shown to be available.
