Welcome
- ATUS/LATI overview (or fun facts if all LATI students)
- introductions (if necessary, or fun facts)
- course overview
-- skill-focused courses, repertoire-focused courses, community groups, performing groups
-- this is a "practicing practice" course
-- plan: set a goal, design a practice plan, practice, evaluate
-- challenge: everyone has different goals
--- where they overlap, I'll facilitate time for group drills that are relevant
--- where they don't we'll do "ignoring others" practice, we'll split up, we'll use the whole facility
-- scope is bigger than our class time together
--- if the classes aren't working for you, you can choose to work on own and go pay-per-class, but only after giving me a chance to try and meet your needs
