Q. Do you have a free trial lesson for children?

- There isn’t any free trial lesson for children.  As one lesson will not make a child understand or like the lesson.  However, for upper primary we have a Sakamoto Introductory Workshop.  It is conducted during the school holidays for 8 hours spread out in 3 or 4 days.  During the workshop, the basic rules of Sakamoto Method is taught and the child will have a better understanding of Sakamoto Method before enrolling the regular Sakamoto class.  This introductory workshop is compulsory for all newly joined primary 4 to 6 students.  We will issue an attendance certificate and an original ring file to the student who has attended the Sakamoto Introductory Workshop all days.
